Works on the project will commence on site in June.
The Arts and Performance venue will be set within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and replace disused agricultural buildings.
The new buildings will feature materials typical of the Chilterns vernacular such as brick and flint walls, dark stained weatherboarding and plain clay roof tiles. They will also have green roof besides performance spaces, rehearsal rooms, recording studios, wardrobe workshops and catering areas that blend into the environment.
