A PLAN to create homes in Coley as a replacement for a bungalow has been rejected.
Applicants Finerain Developments were hoping to transform the home in Downshire Way through part demolition and construction work that would have made it two-storey, providing two semi-detached three-bedroom homes.
The council’s planning department judged that the project would result in an ‘over-intensive, awkward and contrived layout’ and provide an ‘unacceptable standard of accommodation’ for future occupants.
A previous plan to demolish the bungalow entirely and replace it with three homes was rejected at a planning meeting in July 2022.
To see the application, search Reading Borough Council’s planning website for reference 230941.
