The council said there were: No operational reasons to keep the building in council use or occupied beyond this point, allowing the site to be cleared for redevelopment. Justifying the demolition, Warrington said the building has poor energy efficiency, high service costs, and is inflexible for modern office and business working Cost estimates for refurbishment, M&E installation, and energy efficiency measures to keep the building in office use stand at £5m; even if this is actioned, the building would still have limitations for flexible modern working practices and energy efficiency. The council had explored renting the building out but said: there was no demand for office space of this scale and quality; a sale was also considered but the council found market demand was not significant. Residential is the most likely outcome for the site, and it will be built into a masterplan for an area including Scotland Road, Town Hill, and Cockhedge. The council said it would look to sell the site in future.
