Have the BB house planning permissions been extended again?
The last mention I can find is for a 2 year extension that was granted in 2012.

At the end of that extension 30 buildings/cabins which house the staff working on the program will have to be removed.
So if that's the case then it seems quite possible to me that the show (should it return in 2015) will move location itself.

I didn't mind CBB this year, I supported both the winners so I can't complain much but that series of Civillian BB completely took all the support I had for the show away...I have stood up for BB through A LOT of garbage but that was too much for me.
The only hope for the Civillian series for me is if Viacom just come in and change how the show is presented and the casting process otherwise if its more of the same I will probably give up a couple of weeks in and just stick to CBB (Which is beyond ironic because I pretty much hated CBB on Channel 4 and the first couple on Channel 5)
Thanks
It was shame for the British film industry that Brent Walker were allowed to buy the studios and sell off half the space to the likes of Tesco (Hertsmere Borough Council now control the remains so it's hardly surprising Endemol's planning applications sail through).
One of the best things about AUS BB is it's location setting. It really is an institution there.
The producers clearly care about the show and the viewers, although this year's series is somewhat lacklustre it's still event television, something we had and will never get back sadly.
They could even have tasks involving the entertainment who are at the camp anyway.
Added benefit they could get real people who are visiting the park or camp to be audience in bbots.
Also bb could have tours and sell memorabilia AND think of eviction nights no problem getting an audience .
What a money spinner for both pontins and big brother
Sorry getting excited there😃

It's a fantastic idea and maybe something Endemol should have thought of before Channel 5 came along and ruined it all.
In comparison, the compound that houses the UK BB house and studio is situated in the middle of a housing estate at the rear of the local Tesco's which is shameful!
Now that Channel 5 have rinsed the format for all it's worth and totally ruined the show in the process, I'm beginning to see that UK BB has possibly run it's course. If we hadn't of been deluged with virtual blanket coverage since it's arrival on the channel I'm sure it would be a different story. To say that Channel 5 over-egged the pudding is a ginormous understatement and sadly the damage is done.
