To what extent have you considered the potential negative social and environmental impacts in the project planning so far? If you think that an environmental impact assessment will be required at a later stage please tell us about that here.
The majority of the development of this project will be office/studio-based, and as such the environmental/social impacts will be no different to those of any other small business.
The main area for concern will be the disturbance of the natural environment during the film shoot. Slight damage to terrain is unavoidable on exterior location shoots due to the large numbers of crew and heavy kit being moved around for a protracted period of time. However the damage will be localised, and the sensibilities of the film are such that I will stress that people take pride and care of the landscape.
Other than physical location damage, there will be generators creating air pollution (negligible) and sound pollution (temporary), lighting rigs creating light pollution (temporary) and some special effects by-products that comply with strict industry standards. As with any professional shoot, when we leave, we shall leave everything as we found it.
