A NEW application to build two flats in the garden of an existing home in Earley has been submitted to Wokingham Borough Council.
The plan proposes to develop a two-storey building to accommodate the two one-bedroom flats in the side garden of 25 Henley Wood Road.
The flats would be split over two floors with two entrances on either side, to appear as a semi-detached residential house.
Parking and turning space for two cars is also outlined, as well as each unit having refuse and secure cycle storage.
The site, which is currently brownfield, has been the subject of a number of failed planning applications in the past – specifically in relation to insufficient off-street parking, inappropriate scale and excessive height.
The latest plan, submitted on behalf of the applicant by Colony Architects Ltd, claims to have alleviated these concerns by lowering the height of the new building and increasing the number of car parking spaces.
