Cordwallis Commercials has won permission to increase storage space and create more space for MoTs at its base in Whitley.
The site at 40 Bennet Road is used as a depot for heavy goods and commercial vehicles and a MoT servicing centre.
Cordwallis can extend an existing storage building and create a separate area for servicing and MoTs for smaller vans and EVs after its project was approved by the council’s planning applications committee on March 27.
Councillor Micky Leng (Labour, Whitley) said: “We need a second-hand market, the more infrastructure we get, the more EV vehicles we have, the quicker we can have a second-hand market.
“It’s my ward, its jobs and I’ll always support jobs in my ward and in Reading.”
