Project Pinewood plans submitted
Plans for a new purpose-built living and working community for the creative industries at Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, have been submitted to South Buckinghamshire District Council (SBDC).
The £200m Project Pinewood development is designed to provide filmmakers and producers with a range of streetscapes for film and television productions, including New York and Paris, without having to travel around the world. However, the proposals for the 44-hectare (109-acre) site also include a multi-purpose community venue, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, a cinema, a theatre and a music production area, as well as public open spaces.
A training and education facility for the creative industries and up to 1,500 homes are also among the plans, which were first unveiled by Pinewood Shepperton in November 2007 in a bid to secure the long-term future of Pinewood Studios. A spokesperson for the studio said: "Project Pinewood is a long-term scheme of national significance to create a living and working community for the creative industries.
"Project Pinewood is the most innovative and forward-looking strategic initiative in the UK screen and related industries, designed to achieve economic efficiencies in filming and reduction in carbon emissions."
