Warner Bros has confirmed it will go ahead with a huge expansion of Leavesden film studios.
The addition of 10 new sound stages and 400,000 sq ft of production and support space will increase the filming capacity of the studios, where the Harry Potter films were shot, by 50%.
Building work is due to begin next spring and complete in 2027, after which Leavesden will become the main production hub for DC Studios, the Warner arm responsible for making the Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman films.
Planning permission for the expansion was granted by Three Rivers District Council and Watford Borough Council earlier this year.
