Wouldn't it be far easier, although probably not profitable, to go the Compton Abbas route; 800m or so of grass, with a clubhouse and hangers?
We've already got that - EGCB Barton City Airport. It beggars belief that a conurbation of over 1 million people doesn't have a "Biggin Hill" to service the needs of business aviation in the year 2017.

PS Just scrapped the idea of buying a Bonanza - so where the heck am I going to keep my PC12?
