Plans by developer Verb and film studio operator Quartermaster for a new film and television studio campus near Stewartby in Bedfordshire have been approved.
The masterplan, designed by Scott Brownrigg, will see the development of a 143-acre brownfield site to provide more 1.75m sq ft of flexible indoor and outdoor space alongside bars, restaurants, a gym, medical centre, childcare facilities and faith rooms.
The proposals also include ecological corridors, a central canal, new wetland and floating reed beds across the site, plus 173 acres of replacement habitat and woodland nearby.
