The floors of two historic buildings in Reading could be converted from offices into flats according to new plans.

In both cases, the owners of the buildings want to convert floors that have been used as offices into apartments for future occupiers.

The oldest one of these dates back to the mid-1700s.

Elsewhere, an abandoned bungalow could be replaced with homes and the busy Tesco at Cemetery Junction could be getting new signage.

You can view each application in detail by typing the reference number in brackets into the council’s planning portal.

The owning company of 13-15 Station Road in Reading have applied to convert offices into seven apartments.

These apartments would stretch across part of the ground floor and basement, and floors one to four.

The plan is split into two, with reference 230202 relating to the change of use from existing offices into flats, and reference 230203 being focused on the internal and external modifications to the buildings.

A heritage statement has been submitted with the conversion plans as the buildings are Grade II listed.

They date back to 1903 and are noted on the Historic England website for having an “exuberant mixture of Baroque Art Nouveau and Flemish styles ”
