Developing an existing resort
The property combined a historic hotel with golf, food and beverage facilities and a marina. The work examined how these uses could be retained and complemented by new tourism facilities. A distinction was needed between the overall estate, land still available and the areas that could actually be developed.
Holiday homes or a larger new hotel
One option envisaged a village of approximately 120 holiday homes, considered as an alternative to a new 100-room hotel. Shared food and service facilities would connect the accommodation units. Additional wellness facilities were intended to provide reasons to visit during the winter and reduce reliance on the main season.
The spatial and financial assessment had to account for plots already sold, existing access routes and utilities, and the further planning required for the options. The historic buildings also imposed constraints on refurbishment and alterations. Discussions with the owners helped clarify these considerations for the individual development variants.
Financial assessment
The financial work considered the existing operation alongside possible extensions. Phasing was intended to coordinate capital expenditure with additional operating capacity. Contributions included assessment of land-use options, financial analyses and scenarios, and preparation of investor materials. Coordination with the owners and project partners brought the conceptual, property and financial questions together.
