Costs of relocating District Council offices vs costs of refurbishing Knowle

There are no 'official' figures available to allow for a comparison between the cost of relocating to new District Council headquarters
Futures Forum: District Council: Knowle relocation: "EDDC closes in on new office site": more reports in the press
Futures Forum: Knowle: relocation... costs of borrowing...? Another presentation to be given to 'stakeholders'... And another ‘confidential briefing for councillors’
Futures Forum: Knowle: Freedom of Information requests: Relocation Working Parties: latest response from District Council

as opposed to the cost of refurbishing the current 1970s/80s building at Knowle:
Futures Forum: Knowle plans: 1970s building
Futures Forum: Knowle plans: expense
Futures Forum: "A truly green alternative to EDDC's proposal"
Futures Forum: Knowle: old bricks vs new build: embodied carbon: letter

A correspondent has noted that in an article from the Building Design magazine on repairing Westminster, with regard to demolition, refurbishment costs 40% of the "reinstatement costs" - except of course if the building has heritage value.
