In a report the Sunday Times newspaper said, embattled Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd is likely to receive planning permission later this week, to build a $494.24-million (400-million-pound) research and development center in Britain’s Sawston village.
Huawei’s facility, located 7 miles (11 km) from Cambridge, will be built for researching and developing chips for use in broadband.
The South Cambridgeshire District Council has been advised to approve the company’s application in full, said the report.
