Well it wouldn’t cost them more. But wouldn’t help them either.
Apparently they've agreed to rebuild it, but on the condition they build it somewhere else.

The iconic pub is being rebuilt brick-by-brick- But there's a catch.

Built like a steakhouse, handles like a bistro
I vote for make them do both. A heritage site and a viable pub.Apparently they've agreed to rebuild it, but on the condition they build it somewhere else.

Not only that, but I suspect that this will be the opening move in a game which aims to water down the rebuilding proposals to save costs, to the point where they'll end up with something that barely resembles what they destroyed.
I think, as a matter of principle, the council should hold them to the original reinstatement proposal, and not budge an inch. In burning the place down, they were trying to do exactly what they're after doing now. It should be status quo ante, or prison. AND status quo ante. No arguments.

It's going to cost them a fortune to rebuild the pub, regardless of location.
