Over the next seven years, Bemerton Community Ltd worked incredibly hard to get St Johns Place to the point that it could be opened to the community. This included negotiating with planners, the Diocese, conservation authorities and the community to come up with a plan that would meet everyones needs, and to then raise the funds to put that plan into action. For example, it was decided that the Diocese would retain the Chancel as a consecrated part of the building so that religious ceremonies, such as weddings, baptisms and funerals, could still be performed. The nave, and the north and south aisles, would be deconsecrated and opened up to accommodate a range of community activities, including parties, fitness classes and wedding receptions.
