Planning permission granted for Buckinghamshire project seen as test of Labour’s drive for economic growth
Ministers have approved a development to build a £750m Hollywood-style film and TV studios in Marlow, a project that has faced local opposition and been seen as a test of Labour’s appetite to prioritise economic growth.
The Marlow Film Studios project has received high-profile backing from film-makers including the director of 1917, Sam Mendes, the director of Titanic and Avatar, James Cameron, and the Captain Phillips director, Paul Greengrass.
