Additional Notes
Allocation CR11e in Local Plan. Permission 110024 was for up to 434 dwellings, retail, hotel, offices on part of site, but has now expired. Outstanding outline planning applications for redevelopment of site (182252 for 80 Caversham Road for mixed use including up to 620 dwellings, 200328 for Station Retail Park for up to 115,000 sq m of floorspace including residential) not yet determined, so figures from Local Plan allocation used here.. There will be retail and leisure development on the ground floor activating the streets and spaces including the new northern station square, with other uses including residential and offices on upper floors. Retail will have good pedestrian links to, and will not have a detrimental impact on, the rest of the retail core of the centre. Public car parking will be provided.. https://images.reading.gov.uk/2019/12/Local_Plan_Adopted_November_2019.pdf

Local authorities maintain Brownfield Land Registers to identify suitable sites for housing.
