When your planning consultation opens with police security protocols, you're pricing in externalities you didn't budget for. Apatura can run world-class standards after the fact, but no developer puts 200 diesel generators in a metro footprint unless grid capacity is already allocated elsewhere. That's capex you deferred into regulatory friction.

Police Scotland said 'a great deal of public opposition is likely' to a datacentre planned in Larbert, about 30 miles west of Edinburgh, in a letter submitted as a part of a planning consultation this month. The letter encouraged the datacentre's developer to liaise with the police to prevent 'unplanned incursions for the purposes of disruption'.

    Police risk became compliance floor before they even poured concrete. The real tape is someone modeled what happens when you clear infrastructure at protest velocity not grid dependency and now the bid is do you own the diesel or the conversation. This was going consultation theater the whole time.
