Newark and Sherwood District Council has granted approval for new historic landmark filming permissions, hoping that Hollywood filmmakers will use sites such as Newark Castle. Filmmaking will be made simpler for Newark Castle, the National Civil War Centre, and the Palace Theatre, with filmmakers being granted permission on a case-by-case basis by council officers. The change was welcomed by most members of the council's planning committee, who expressed hopes of attracting Hollywood stars and boosting tourism. However, there were concerns about the potential impact on residents and the need for strict regulations to protect the historic structures. Revenue from productions will be reinvested in cultural sites.
