Additional Notes

Allocation CR12e in Local Plan. Site within area covered by Minster Quarter Development Framework, adopted December 2018.. Development on this site will result in a new residential community centred around an improved area of public open space and a high quality environment, with an improved entrance to the site from St Mary’s Butts. The edges of the open space will be activated with retail, and/or leisure and/or other main town centre uses such as hotel use, and development may also include some limited offices uses. The Hexagon theatre will only be developed if a replacement facility for Reading is provided, and approaches to the theatre will be improved. Development will also include a replacement site for the street market. The car parking below ground level will be retained and incorporated into the development.. https://images.reading.gov.uk/2019/12/Local_Plan_Adopted_November_2019.pdf

What is Brownfield Land?

Brownfield land is previously developed land that may be available for redevelopment. The government prioritises brownfield development over greenfield sites to protect countryside and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. Local authorities maintain Brownfield Land Registers to identify suitable sites for housing.
