We carried out a feasibility study to assess the viability of developing Evolution Leisure Village in Staffordshire.
The proposed Village could incorporate a number of lodges set in existing woodland with an emphasis on design that minimises the impact on the forest's flora and fauna, a central village area designed with a range of facilities including restaurants, swimming pools and landscaping, two lakes, one of which will be dedicated to leisure activities along with a network of paths and cycle lanes using existing tracks and paths where possible. The scheme could provide up to 1,600 jobs once operating.
Importantly the proposed Village is the UK's first proposed holiday destination that generates its own energy through one of four proposed wind turbines in the heart of Staffordshire.
Forest Enterprise Accommodation Study
We provided a scoping study on the future business potential of the Forest Holiday product in the United Kingdom and in particular the opportunity to expand the portfolio of forest cabin sites. Forest Enterprise through its Forest Holidays product has an established brand with strong customer loyalty through its three existing sites. The report represented a broad analysis of the market potential and provided a framework to underpin future development strategy.
Oasis Forest Holiday Village
Carried out the product development work on a new “breed” of sustainable forest holiday villages from the initial concept design, detailed market assessment, public consultation, planning, development strategy, bench-marking, developing the business plan and project supervision for the Oasis Village. The development includes 750 accommodation units, restaurants, retail and entertainment areas and a village centre. The ‘Village’ also includes a spa and a large sports and fitness centre. The development value is £120 million per village and brings considerable economic impact on the local rural and wider regional economy – both during the construction and operational phases.
