Plans to transform Liverpool’s iconic Littlewoods building into a film and TV campus have been approved by Liverpool City Council’s Planning Committee.

The project will include the development of two 20,000 sq ft studios designed for large-scale productions, along with office spaces, workshops, studio support facilities, and an education centre.
