PINEWOOD Studios has taken a step towards its second phase of expansion on its site in Iver Heath.

The famous studios in Pinewood Road submitted a planning application under reserved matters last Friday to South Bucks District Council. Outline permission has already been granted, which is for three sound stages, two of which can be divided into smaller stages; three workshop buildings, an office block, parking, roadways, access and landscaping. The first phase was completed in June.

Andrew M. Smith, Pinewood Group’s Corporate Affairs Director said: “Pinewood is a centre of filmmaking excellence. The latest phase of expansion builds upon that success and will further enhance Pinewood’s reputation.”
