A DEVELOPER has applied for permission to demolish a former outdoors store and replace it with 60 homes.
The now empty Carters store in Caversham Road could be converted into housing if Bellway Homes’ scheme is approved by Reading Borough Council.
The development would commprise a mixture of one- two- and three-bed apartments, as well as 10 four-bedroom houses.
Of the flats, 14 would be three-bed, 19 two-bed and 17 one-bed.
The houses would be three-storey terraces, with a row of six and row of four located to the rear of the site.
The development comes with a total of 30 car parking spaces and 20 cycle spaces.
It also complies with the council’s 30% affordable housing policy, with 20% affordable rent and 10% as shared ownership.
