Plans have been unveiled for an industrial estate in Patchway to be transformed into a film set for a major new TV show. Production company Bad Wolf wants to film its adaptation of Bernard Cornwall's The Winter King off Highwood Lane in Patchway Trading Estate.
It has submitted plans to South Gloucestershire Council to build a temporary film set at the site, which will be used between July 2022 and January 2023. On the film set will be a 'fortified encampment' and 'mountainous ravine' appropriate to Arthurian Britain - the time period in which the series is set.
A temporary two-storey office and welfare cabin will also be installed on the site, along with space for trucks and technical vehicles. The application seeks temporary planning permission for one year, with construction works likely to take place over 10 to 12 weeks.
