LUC contributes to Shepperton Studios' expansion
The expansion of Shepperton Studios in Surrey, one of the UK's most prestigious film and television production facilities, is now open.
The state-of-the-art development adds to Shepperton’s world-class amenities and provides an additional 17 sound stages, 548,000 sq ft of production and workshop spaces as well as two backlots.
LUC has been a core team member from the project's inception. We have provided landscape design, landscape planning and ecology services from outline planning through to the successful delivery of a fully integrated scheme.
The introduction of significant blue and green infrastructure ensures that Biodiversity Net Gain is maximised.

Our work provides a strong and resilient landscape framework, reinforcing and enhancing landscape and ecological assets in an integrated manner for the benefit of all.
The development makes Shepperton Studios the second biggest film studio in the world with a total of 31 purpose-built sound stages alongside ancillary production accommodation.
It creates exciting new opportunities for filmmakers to contribute to the ongoing success of British productions on the global stage.
