The second plan submitted by CPL architects July 2009
Is this the future of Offington Park Methodist Church?

Budget for Redevelopment of Offington Park Methodist Church
(this has been taken from the architects report)

The figures below should be understood to be an indication of price and will need to be reviewed when detailed plans are produced, The sums exclude the cost of professional and planning fees and the cost of investigations of soil conditions, state of drainage etc, Also omitted are the costs of repair to existing buildings (if needed), removal of asbestos (if any), and improvements to structure (underpinning if required),drainage and gas, electric and water supplies. We may need to allow for cost changes due to inflation, and VAT. Note that there is allowance of £65,000 for contingencies that may cover some or all of these items.

The cost of replacing the pews with seats will be some £12,000

A saving of about £15,000 could be made if all the work was carried out in the same programme.
