Angela Rayner reconsiders rejected application for Marlow film studio

Decision on multimillion-pound development is being closely watched as a test of Labour's support for the creative industries

The deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, has called in a rejected planning application for a multimillion-pound film studio development in what is being closely watched as a test of Labour's appetite to prioritise economic growth in the creative industries.

A proposed 750m development at Marlow Film Studios that would have created 4,000 jobs was turned down for planning permission by Buckinghamshire council in May, citing concerns about the impact on the road network and use of the green belt.
