The hub will be based on a 77-acre site to the south and immediately adjacent to the existing iconic studio that has been home to global franchises including “Star Wars” and. It will include a 350,000 sq. ft film-inspired international visitor attraction titled Pinewood Studio Experience; new film production facilities with “live” links to the Experience; an educational training and skills hub; a creative industries business growth hub; and a green campus.
The group estimates that the hub will result in the creation of some 3,500 new jobs, add £230 million annually into the economy, and £125 million every year into the tourism industry. The project will implement the proposals contained in the U.K.
Pinewood group is preparing the application and will start consultations with the local community and wider stakeholders next week.
