Plans developed by parent company Pinewood Shepperton plc add 100,000 square metres of new facilities, including studios and stages, workshops, production offices and streetscapes for filming.
A planning application for the Pinewood Studios Development Framework (PSDF) is being submitted to South Bucks District Council today.
Pinewood Shepperton said that would make “a major contribution to achieving government priority objectives to grow the UK's creative industries, promote growth and create new jobs”.
It would provide £194m of private sector infrastructure investment and produce an additional £149m in gross value added, it said.
Film director Ridley Scott said: “I have long been a supporter of Pinewood and Shepperton and believe that they offer some of the best facilities in the world. There is no doubt in my mind that the UK has to keep investing in new technology, skills and infrastructure to keep pace with international competition. The expansion at Pinewood is long overdue.”
