Proposal to build flats on Tesco car park in Reading
A planning proposal has been submitted to build apartments on ground which is currently used as a Tesco car park.
Development company Ridgepoint Homes has submitted a plan to build 80 flats on the existing car park of the Tesco Extra superstore in Portman Road in Reading
Designs show the flats being contained in one large L-shaped four-storey apartment block containing 74 two-bed and six one-bed flats.
Each new apartment would have one car parking space allocated to it, totalling 80 car spaces and 40 cycle parking spaces.
Ridgepoint Homes has not defined how many car parking spaces will be lost for Tesco customers, but it is estimated that more than 100 spaces would be removed from use.
