FOUR sites, including Reading’s prime shopping centre and a Tesco car park, could be places where hundreds of new homes are built.

Reading Borough Council is in the long process of updating its Local Plan, a crucial document which defines where new homes can be built.

At the beginning of the process last year, about 20 sites were identified as possible for home builds.

These were featured in an initial consultation into the partial update of the Reading Local Plan, which took place from November 2023 to this January.
