A plan to build a four-storey housing block containing five one-bed flats and two studio apartments next to a demolished pub and historic buildings in Reading has been rejected.
The project involved constructing the new building next to the demolished Red Lion pub and the Grade II listed buildings at 26-28 Southampton Street. These date back to the early 19th century.
It was refused as Reading Borough Council’s planning department felt that the new building would be harmful the listed building and be too close to the approved development for 11 apartments which replaces the Red Lion.
