Margam Castle – feasibility study

Client: Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council

As part of a National Lottery Heritage Fund project, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council commissioned Planning Solutions Consulting Limited to join a multidisciplinary project team to explore new uses for Margam Castle, a Grade I listed building set in an attractive parkland setting. The landscape is listed as Grade I on the Register of Landscapes, Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The site also incorporates the Grade I listed Orangery, which was built in 1790 – a large venue which can be hired for weddings, social functions and other uses. The wider country park incorporates a children’s village, a Go Ape experience, gardens, a miniature 24-inch gauge railway and Margam Park Adventure.

Our work involved reviewing the park’s current operations, conducting a market assessment, consulting, analysing case examples, and preparing a 10-year financial model for the preferred development option for the Castle.  Find out more about our work at other castles.
