Universal confirmed on Thursday it had submitted a request to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to secure planning permission for the new resort without going through the normal local planning process.
The scheme would be Universal’s first branded theme park in Europe and will feature several themed lands, immersive rides, on-site hotels, and a full range of retail, dining, and entertainment attractions.
If the secretary of state grants planning, work could start next year creating 20,000 construction jobs with 5,000 on site at the peak.
