A proposal to build seven homes as a replacement for a warehouse has been rejected by Reading Borough Council’s planning department.
It would have been in St John’s Road in Caversham.
TOCM Properties Ltd had applied to knock down the warehouse, known as Onc House, and build six three-bed homes and one two-bedroom homes.
The planning department felt the terraced houses would be out of keeping with the character of St John’s Road, with the development being judged as overbearing.
And it was felt that TOCM Properties had failed to demonstrate how it would contribute to affordable housing or how the development would mitigate any flood risk.
The application, number 220350, can be seen on Reading Borough Council’s planning website.
