Travers Smith is advising Pinewood Studios on planning matters as it creates a working community in Buckinghamshire.

The City firm has been advising Pinewood on real estate, planning, environment and real estate management issues connected with the studio's plans to build a living and working community for the creative industry.

The project will involve building a variety of streetscapes imitating areas such as New York and Venice to be used for filming and the development of a screen crafts academy. As part of the community aspects of the project, the scheme will include 1,400 homes and a school.
