A planning consultation has opened to determine whether prior approval is required to convert the former NatWest Bank in Broad Street into eight flats.
Plans for the property, which closed its doors in February this year, will also include two commercial spaces. The application is to determine whether prior approval is required in respect of the change of use of part of the ground floor and all of the first and second floors from commercial use to residential.
Initial plans suggest the plans will see the property developed into five two-bedroom flats and three one-bedroom flats. Two commercial units totalling 225 sqm of space will be retained on the ground floor. Bin storage and five parking spaces would also form part of the development.
Prices for new-build one-bedroom apartments elsewhere in Wokingham town centre are currently in the region of £250,000.
The application was submitted by L.A.U.K Planning for an unidentified client. The public consultation runs until September 20.
