Developers Apatura want to build on the Scottish Enterprise-owned land in Glenbervie Business Park, just off Bellsdyke Road.
However, many local people are against the plans with around 400 attending a public meeting in the Dobbie Hall last Thursday, as well as attending the protest at the proposed site.
The Larbert application is one of 19 that are currently making their way through planning authorities across Scotland.
Retired technology worker Michael Maciocia is one of those concerned about the proposal.
At last week’s public meeting he said that raising awareness with neighbours was the most important thing people could do and then submitting an objection through Falkirk Council’s planning portal.
For those looking for more information on how to submit objections that are relevant to planning policy, he advised visiting the website of campaign group Action to Protect Rural Scotland (APRS) or the local Facebook group Say No To Larbert Data Centre.
