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.

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?
