Proposals have been launched to demolish an Angus church and replace it with a “21st Century” place of worship.Five years ago, the kirk session of St Margaret’s Church in Forfar were told vital repairs would cost £300,000, excluding any modernisation.Decay was first noticed 35 years ago and architects began to look at options for the building and its halls in 1996.A consensus has formed that “it would be better to demolish” the unlisted church and start again.Original plans for a 250-seat sanctuary along traditional lines were abandoned due to a £1.65m price tag, and have now been replaced by ideas for a smaller multiple-use building.A planning policy statement by MBM Planning says it could be a “future distinctive landmark” and would not affect the town centre conservation area.
