A new film studios site is coming to Buckinghamshire.
Wycombe Film Studios has been given permission to build five temporary workshops and for a temporary backlot in a southern part of the Wycombe Air Park aerodrome in Booker.
Council officers gave the company ‘prior approval’ for its plans, which include up to 204 parking spaces.
The single storey ‘demountable’ workshops can be positioned on pads on the ground without the need for excavations, according to the applicant, and will be ‘comparatively lower’ than the studio’s sound stages.
Film activities on the land can now take place November 2025, with a planned shoot period between April and May set to last from 7am to 8pm.
The studios said that on the rare occasions filming includes night shoots and special effects such as explosions or gunfire, ‘prior notice’ will be given to nearby residents including with leaflets and in a WhatsApp group the company says it will set up.
Wycombe Film Studios has also submitted other planning applications for the air park, which is owned by the council.
Plans to use the site for filming are under consideration, while a bid to create a new film and TV studios at the site, including building new sound stages and other facilities, are awaiting the outcome of negotiations for ‘Section 106 contributions’ – financial payments made by developers.
