The data centre is also causing concern over its potential water usage, noise pollution and the scale of the facility harming the landscape.
Assessments of the noise it could create found it has the “potential to generate very high levels of noise to the surrounding area” and would require extensive mitigation measures.
The majority of noise would come from the 72 chiller units on the roof.
A spokesperson said: “Our environmental assessments conclude the data centre will not harm nearby designated wildlife sites.
“The data centre will use air-cooling technology, meaning no water will be required for cooling. Water will only be needed for everyday uses, such as toilets and staff facilities, with none taken from nearby rivers or marshes.
“The facility has also been designed so that operational noise levels at surrounding sensitive locations are in line with existing background levels.”
The firm also said the facility could create up to 150 permanent jobs and that it would create planting and landscaping to screen the development and reduce the visual impact.
It would also be located close to an electrical substation for offshore wind farms in the North Sea, from which it could draw power.
