Pinewood Group has announced a public consultation on revised expansion plans for its Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, amid what it describes as a “reduction in global content production.”
Pinewood said its planned expansion and investment would incorporate additional film stages and production facilities alongside the development of a data centre. It said the consultation would examine future development options for land to the south of the studios.
In a statement, Pinewood described the development as a mixed-use project that would provide a “compelling blend of two of the Government’s focus industries as set out in their Modern Industrial Strategy – digital technologies and the creative industries.”
Pinewood said a period of local public consultation will run from 25–27 February 2025 to kickstart community dialogue about the development options for the site.
David Conway, Chief Executive Officer of Pinewood Group, said: “We are a dynamic business in a fast-moving industry, and we are committed to invest in the ongoing expansion of Pinewood Studios. The reduction in global content production, combined with rising construction costs and business rates, triggered a review of our existing planning consent and we believe the revised proposals provide a credible alternative.”
