Welcome to

Fairbanks Studios

AXA IM Alts (acting on behalf of its clients) has acquired BBC Elstree Centre from the BBC, advised by Oxygen Studios as development manager and operator. Some of the existing facilities at BBC Elstree Centre no longer meet modern film studio requirements and are therefore no longer fit for purpose, but the aim is to respect the long-standing tradition of film and television production on site.

We propose to rename the site Fairbanks Studios in celebration of the history of studios housed here over the years.

Our planning application for the redevelopment of the site has now been submitted to Hertsmere Borough Council. The full application is available to view and provide comments on via the Council’s website: https://www6.hertsmere.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVFPRBIFMC700&activeTab=summary

We would like to thank everyone who provided feedback throughout the consultation process, all of which has been considered by our expert project team and much of which is reflected in the final submission proposals.

The support we have received to date has been extremely valuable and we look forward to continuing to work with local residents and groups in the months and years to come.
