EMPTY offices in Reading town centre could be converted into flats if Reading Borough Council approves an application.

Warrant Investments Plc wants to turn offices on the first and second floors of 65 St Mary’s Butts into dwellings.

These floors are currently vacant.

Under the proposals, they would become four flats, with each floor containing a one-bed and a two-bed apartment.

The ground floor, which is not subject to this plan, will continue as a restaurant, like neighbouring 64 St Mary’s Butts, the home of Biryani Mama.

Both 64-65 were a branch of Ask Italian, which closed during the lockdown phase of the covid pandemic.
