The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.
