It covers 39 acres with a built capacity of 42,000 sq m (459,000 sq ft) in a mixture of film and sound studios, workshops and ancillary offices to be occupied by complimentary businesses with direct access to the Park for filming, backlot and stage sets.
Referencing the Cold War heritage, the scheme will incorporate a number of the protected hardened concrete hangars.
