In the light of the Ministerial decision to uphold the rejection of the Studio development at Holyport, The Marlow Society believes it is now time to put the sorry saga of the Marlow Film Studios to bed.
The decision at Holyport that the development would have a “very significantly adverse impact on the countryside” runs in parallel with the real threat to obliterate the green belt between Marlow and Little Marlow.
The second reason given to reject the Holyport development focuses on the spurious case for a demand for studios in London and the South East – the Minister stating that Holyport studios “would simply displace film making and the associated economic benefits from other studios”.
Surely, the recent failure of studio projects in Winnersh and Booker is testament to this fact.
Time to move on!
