Knowle plans: 1970s building

This is from the SOS website of 15th July:
EDDC Knowle offices…no need to relocate? | Save Our Sidmouth

This is what the 1970′s offices look like today, set in the pleasant surroundings of the historic Knowle parkland.

EDDC claim to require 3353m² of floorspace for their new offices and Council Chamber. My estimates suggest the potential floorspace which could be provided by the 1970s offices at Knowle plus the Council Chamber in the older part of Knowle would amount to 3290m². This 63m² shortfall – the size of a large sitting room – would amount to just 2% less than they say is required.

EDDC want space for 250 desks. This would require 1125 m² of floorspace under Health and Safety Executive recommendations. But 2630m² of office space is already available within the 1970s office buildings – more than double what is required.
