They have been able to have an upstairs area where the DR was for a few series. So we know they can make at least that upper half of the studio with two floors.

Had a look through the plans and this is great. Now I'm believing Ben Frow with his 'big changes' comment. We're getting a bigger house/set, a proper studio eviction set will be constructed and it looks like they're trying to make the audience area a bit more open.

The covering letter on the application states they want this approved asap (at the March committee), so it can be ready for this years summer series. Hopefully this will mean a June launch (can't see them getting all this rushed through ready for May).
