Liverpool City Council has put in plans to create two 20,000 sq ft film studios in the city.
The scheme will be located opposite Capital & Centric’s £54m Littlewoods Studios film studio scheme and work could start on site in November this year.
The council’s cabinet will decide next month whether contractors can be appointed for the scheme.
The plans follow the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s decision to provide £17m of funding for the Littlewoods Studios scheme, which will see anchor tenant Twickenham Studios take 85,000 sq ft at the site.
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: “These two pop-up sound stages adjacent to the future Littlewoods Film Studios will ensure co-location to the best new facilities in the UK and transform Liverpool’s ability to provide the TV and film industry with a more all-round package, enabling us to attract a more diverse range of productions which will in turn will create more jobs.”
