Yorkshire is hugely successful, but property and land are still affordable and available, and our planning authorities are broadly sympathetic to the needs of big employers.
We are a longstanding home to other major broadcasters and there is big pool of talent and experience here. It is practically impossible to take a walk around Hebden Bridge or Holmfirth these days without bumping into an off-duty producer, filmmaker or scriptwriter.
