Marlow Film Studios approval provokes anger from MP

In 2024, Buckinghamshire Council rejected the proposal – earmarked for land adjacent to the A4155 Marlow Road – because of concerns about traffic, biodiversity and harm to the local landscape.

But on Wednesday, Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook, external said the development would not have a “significantly adverse” effect on the landscape.

Developer Dido Property Limited wants to build workshops, offices, 18 sound stages, cafes and parking spaces.

It has been publicly supported by Hollywood names including Avatar creator James Cameron, Lord of the Rings actor Andy Serkis and James Bond director Sam Mendes.

Campaign group Save Marlow’s Greenbelt, which has criticised the project over the years, said there were “numerous material weaknesses and errors” in the developer’s plans

“We believe the development will cause significant and lasting harm to the environment, the local community, and the landscape,” a spokesperson said.

“We will continue to defend Marlow’s green belt against inappropriate development.”
