Thurrock Council Adopts FilmApp & LocationDB to Support Filmmaking and Location Promotion

1st April 2026

Thurrock Council has adopted FilmApp and LocationDB to modernise its film permitting service and showcase the borough’s rich portfolio of locations to the wider creative sector.

With FilmApp, production companies can now submit filming applications online, access clear guidance and manage documentation through our streamlined digital platform, helping to reduce turnaround times and improve overall service delivery. LocationDB adds an AI‑enabled location library, giving both local film offices and visiting crews a powerful tool to find, organise and share Thurrock’s unique sites more easily. 

The adoption of these tools reinforces Thurrock’s commitment to supporting filming activity and promoting the borough as an attractive destination for productions, building on its established reputation and heritage locations across the area.
