A fresh plan to build homes at Reading Golf Club which have previously proven hugely unpopular has been submitted.
The developers have put forward a fresh application to demolish the clubhouse and build a housing estate on the site.
But a previous plan to build 257 homes on the golf course was torpedoed earlier this year.
Elsewhere, in the town centre, a developer has adapted its plans for the former Natwest bank in an attempt to add more flats.

Fresh application to build 223 new homes at Reading Golf Club (app 211843)
The owners of Reading Golf Club have applied to build up to 223 homes on the golf course.
The plan, submitted by Fairfax Ltd and Reading Golf Club Ltd, would see the golf course turned over to a housing development, with access being provided off Kidmore End Road in Emmer Green.

Of the 223 homes, 67 would be affordable, with the developers seeking to build a mixture of detached, semi detached and terraced houses.
There would also be public open space as part of the scheme, with the site currently being reserved for golf course users only.
But a previous plan to build 257 homes on the golf course received more than 3,000 objections was rejected in July.
Conversion of former Natwest building into flats (apps 211808 and 211811)
Here, the developers, International Mobility Ltd, have applied to convert the former Natwest bank in the town centre from offices into flats.
The plans relate to 11-12 Market Place. The ground floor of the building is currently occupied by the Stevensons school uniform shop.
Two applications have been submitted here.
The first seeks to make an extension to the fourth floor of the building to create two two-bedroom flats.

The second involves converting the offices on the first to fourth floors into a total of 17 one bed apartments.
Stevensons would remain in the building if the plans is approved.
The developers already won permission to convert the offices into 14 flats in October.
Changes to old house near conservation area (app 211869)
Turner Property Ltd have applied to make changes to a two bedroom home in a popular urban residential area in Reading.
Number 2 The Grove is currently a two bedroom house off Watlington Street, near the Eldon Square Conservation Area and the Lyndhurst pub.
The developers want to convert it into two two-bedroom flats, and build a new one bedroom studio home in the garden of the property.
The house is currently unoccupied, and photos inside show it to be in a poor state of repair.
Internal modifications would create two two-bedroom flats for future occupants.
The first flat would have all of its facilities on the ground floor, whereas the second one would have bedrooms on the first floor and a kitchen living room in the loft.
Meanwhile, the new build studio would have living quarters on its ground floor and a bedroom on the first floor.
HMO certificate in Reading’s student area refused (app 211520)
The owner of a home in Reading’s student area has failed in a bid to get it certified as a four bedroom home of multiple occupation (HMO).
The owner, from Wokingham, had tried to get a HMO certificate for number 12 Blenheim Road.
The area has many HMOs and is popular with students due to its proximity to the university.

In order to obtain a HMO certificate, he had to prove that the house had been used as a HMO continuously for more than 10 years.
However, planning officers at the council ruled that not enough evidence had been submitted, and therefore refused to designate 12 Blenheim Road as a HMO.
