New homes and care facility in West Reading (230613)
The council has submitted a plan to demolish old buildings including a former Day Care centre and its office for Protection and Planning in Amethyst Lane and redevelop the site.
The plan involves building a total of 21 homes and a new six-bed day care centre to replace the previous one which has been closed for years.
Of the homes, 18 would be three-bedroom and three would be four-bedroom.
Initially, it was envisaged that the site would provide 38 homes, but planners at the council changed their minds to provide a care facility there instead.
