Take away the cost of the land from £137 million, Then build 550 houses, how much does a £250,000 house actually cost to build ? You won’t have 137 million after that little lot is paid for . I still reckon the scaffolding alone would consume the best part of ‘several millions’ It would be a major project to assemble scaffolding on that scale, there would be truck loads of scaffolding parts and it would take weeks to erect it and then hire it for a year or so. Or have I got it wrong ??? Whatever the profit margins for the builders I still say that those who had the buildings listed should at least contribute to the restoration. I have seen the outcome of someones little ‘lets make that a listed building’ plan first hand, it is these people that should be the ones paying.

I deleted the post to which you refer as I realised very quickly it lacked detail and clarity, which you have picked up on. However, all I was trying to say was that there must be a profit still to be made and someone will no doubt do it.
Out of interest and one for the locals – how was the other hangar refurbished and how long did it take?
