Elstree Studios To Build New Facility
Planning permission has been granted for Elstree Studios to build a new facility.
Hertsmere Borough Council unanimously agreed to approve the plans for a new studio on the four-acre site located at the back of the studio complex. The proposal for the new studio is near to the Big Brother House and the George Lucas Stages.
The application, which was approved last month, is to build a new stage the same height as the Lucas Stages but larger at over 21,000 sq. ft. with connected scenery storage, workshops and production offices.
Hertsmere Borough Councillors said: "Elstree Studios is a jewel in Hertsmere's crown and we should encourage their endeavours in every way."
Councillor Morris Bright, Chairman of Elstree Studios, said that the development will part fulfil a much needed requirement for more studio space.
Roger Morris, Managing Director of Elstree Studios, added that the Studios already have clients wanting to use the new stage once it is constructed. It will probably be the best multi-purpose film and TV stage in the UK, he continued.
Last year, Elstree Studios made record sales with productions such as Strictly Come Dancing, The Danish Girl and new drama The Crown.
