4.7 The buildings will utilise steel framed construction, with the lower plinth of the building comprising solid robust concrete, or concrete masonry. This base visually separates the form of buildings, reducing the appearance of height, and relates to the smaller scaled ancillary accommodation around the periphery.

4.8 The upper part of the buildings will be clad in profiled cladding. The external appearance and the palette of materials will be consistent with that used on stages throughout the Pinewood Group studio portfolio, and of existing buildings at Shepperton Studios. Concrete finish 4.9 The materials have been selected to meet appropriate levels of performance in relation to acoustic, fire safety, thermal inertia and light penetration.
