Additional Notes

Allocation SR3 in Local Plan. Development of the South of Elgar Road site will be for residential (330-500 dwellings), with potential for supporting community uses. The potential for commercial uses to be part of any future mixed-use development hinges on whether a layout can be created that allows the relationship between residential and commercial to be effectively managed.. 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.
