The owner of the former Three mobile offices in Reading has applied to add 72 apartments to the building despite a similar plan being rejected recently.
The application relates to Great Brighams Mead in Vastern Road and was rejected by Reading Borough Council’s planning department.
Now, the building’s owners Kings Oak Miami has submitted a new plan that would add storeys to the building. Of the new apartments, 36 would be one-bedroom and 36 would be two-bedroom.
In June 2021, permission was granted to convert Great Brighams Mead from offices into 110 apartments. If this plan is approved, the building could host 182 apartments.
Architects have drawn up plans which allow for the retention or the removal of the building’s clocktower.
The refused plan would have removed the clocktower.
The application can be seen at Reading Borough Council’s planning portal, searching for application 221479.
