The following is a short questionnaire being used to collect data to contribute to an Economic Impact Assessment for Battersea. The study is being undertaken on behalf of Battersea Park Businesses, a not-for-profit organisation looking to ensure that the benefits of the new Battersea Power Station development are shared throughout the wider community. Between December 2016 and January 2017 your businesses was asked to complete a similar question to this one as part of developing a baseline of the economic situation in Battersea. This questionnaire is to evaluate what changes have taken place in the past year due to the completion of one section of the Battersea Power Station development, and the ongoing development of other sections. By analyzing financial data and carrying out research with businesses on a yearly basis, we will build ongoing measurements of the situation in this area. This will enable the business community to see how the development is affecting them and if action needs to be taken to maximize its benefit.
