CONFIRMED: New Exterior and House for BB17
 
Quote:

Dear Mr Laban, Town and Country Planning Act
Big Brother House Elstree Film and Studios, Shenley Road, Borehamwood
On behalf of my client Endemol UK Ltd, please find enclosed an application for planning
permission for the installation of additional studio sets at land adjacent to the Big Brother House.

It is vital for the longevity of the show that it is constantly evaluated and refreshed, and
Endemol and Channel Five want to make some changes to the set for the next and subsequent
series.
Quote:

This application seeks to extend the set of the Big Brother House at the north east corner and to create an additional external area within the compound of the Big Brother
House. As you are aware there is an acoustic/visual fence around the perimeter of the House,
and Endemol proposes to extend the fence along the boundary to this new set. The
application also proposes to replace the existing temporary steel studio structure located to
the north-west of the House. The studio is used for interviewing contestants and the current
structure is unsuitable for use in bad weather conditions.
Accordingly planning permission is sought for the following:
‘Erection of an additional television production set and a television studio, and creation of an
additional external area within the Big Brother House associated with the production of Big
Brother. Extension of acoustic and visual fence to the north east corner of the Big Brother compound’.
So endemol have just applied to the council to revamp the house. Looks like we're finally getting a proper outside studio! As well as an extended house, which seems to have a second story?

Jason. 02-02-2016 05:54 PM

Here for the stands being removed

(lolno)

Marsh. 02-02-2016 05:55 PM

Additional external space? :clap1:

Firewire 02-02-2016 05:56 PM

none of the attachments work :(

RichardG 02-02-2016 05:56 PM

Exciting!!

But I can't see any of the drawings :fist:

It's good that they're actually changing things up and that does give me some hope for the future

Jason. 02-02-2016 05:59 PM

It's good they're extending the acoustic fence that closes off the compound, as it gives them more space outside. The current set-up is so cramped and there's too much going on in a small space that it feels like a box.

I wonder what the additional television set will be used for. Interviews in the studio like C4?

So are they trying to procure the land that looked like a field in the channel 4 days?

Headie 02-02-2016 06:02 PM

Omg this sounds good! So are they adding more space to the actual house or just changing bits around on the outside?

This better not be a wind up :fist:

Sounds like they just want to create a more robust set for the interviews. So I bet the sh*t outside of the house with the big eye will remain. :idc:

Here's the overall application (you should be able to find the documents from here - alternatively if you just search the Hertsmere planning permission database for "Big Brother House" it's the first result that comes up): http://www6.hertsmere.gov.uk/online-...=O0ZZ09IFIT000

Not two houses?

Is this the second coming we've been waiting for millions of years?

Marsh. 02-02-2016 06:14 PM

Oh wait, does that mean they want a tiny garden at the front of the house but where the garden is now will be enclosed to be interior of the house?

zakman440 02-02-2016 06:15 PM

Hopefully they'll grant this - it's very ambitious but BB are known to have a good relationship with Borehamwood council. It's the change that the house/set have been needing for a while.
