Cameras set to roll on Cumbernauld film studio plan
March 9 2016
The 48,000sq/ft production base will gain an additional 30,000sq/ft under the plans, including two 50 foot high sound stages.
Culture secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "Wardpark Studios Limited’s decision to seek planning consent for new studio facilities in Cumbernauld marks an important milestone in our work to strengthen the Scottish screen sector.”
Wardpark Studios and HK surveying and design are finalising their application now with support from the Scottish government.
It is hoped a purpose-built space will enable Scotland to compete for international productions
Wardpark successfully attracted Sony to produce hit historical drama Outlander

Perfect for Cumbernauld! Might give people a reason to actually go there.

BC, no architects employed at HK so can't blame them this time.

copy and paste? You can't copy and paste an existing building. This is a refurbishment! Did you see the before pictures of the former isola building? This is a massive improvement.
