Turns out the UK's planning department had a major hiccup with a large-scale data center project. Officials admitted the approval process contained errors, forcing a reversal of the decision.

This matters for the crypto space because massive data centers are critical infrastructure for blockchain operations—whether it's mining, staking, or running validator nodes. Any regulatory snags or approval reversals can impact infrastructure development across the region.

The move highlights how traditional government oversight sometimes lags behind the pace of tech innovation. As Web3 infrastructure expands globally, these kinds of approval processes will keep shaping where and how projects can scale.
