BROADCASTING giant Amazon Prime will have a base at a plush Oxfordshire venue from next month.

The company has got permission to build a mobile film studio for up to 12 weeks at the Great Tew Estate near Chipping Norton – but the programme has not been officially disclosed.

The permission will allow about 350 audience members to watch the programme being filmed once a week.

It is thought to be for Jeremy Clarkson’s Amazon Prime programme The Grand Tour, which got similar permissions last year.

In planning documents, the director of production for previous episodes of The Grand Tour, Zoe Brewer, is named.

The TV company said any noise impact will be ‘minimal, with peak noise associated with occasional applause and reaction from the studio audience’.

Documents handed to West Oxfordshire District Council, which gave the product the go-ahead last week, said: “Production experience indicates that audience noise will not be perceptible beyond 100 metres from this source.

“The temporary film studio will be located away from sensitive noise receptors since it will be situated in a remote parkland setting.”

Filming at the estate will take place one day a week and there will be a maximum of 10 days’ filming over eight weeks between October and December.

All of the filming will be ticketed and all staff and crew will stay in hotels nearby, documents state.
