Marlow Film Studios were initially turned down by Buckinghamshire County Council last year.

Councillors cited concerns about the project’s impact on the green belt, particularly its potential to cause “spatial and visual harm” to the area.

A public inquiry was held at the start of the year, with a ruling released by the government hours before the Budget.
