You’ll be pleased to hear that Plymouth City Council’s planning committee has voted unanimously in favour of the Royal William Yard film studio and production offices.

The committee said it hoped the proposed studio would bring employment to the city, but planning approval was dependant on the site’s flood defences being approved. 

As we told you on Monday, One Plymouth is all set to be the first channel of its kind in the country, featuring local news, sport, lifestyle and business.

It was originally due to start broadcasting last year but was put on hold when the production company behind the scheme, Automatic Media, folded owing thousands of pounds to creditors.

Despite these setbacks, Automatic Media’s Dave Orton recently assured the Plymouth Herald that ‘things are moving forward’.

Stay tuned to D+CFilm over the coming weeks for more about One Plymouth TV.
