An old ironmongers shop that was operating in Reading for decades before closing will be partially demolished and replaced with flats., Caversham, Berkshire, UK - 31 Mar 2023
Drews the ironmongers which served Reading for over 87 years has been boarded up since closure in October and will now be partially demolished and replaced with flats after approval was finally given this week. Following its closure, the building was bought by developer S2 Caversham with the intention of building homes on the site. An earlier plan by the developer which would have involved Drews being completely replaced with a seven-storey, 44-apartment building was torpedoed by councillors in October 2020. While S2 Caversham appealed against the refusal to the government's planning inspectorate, its appeal was dismissed in 2021. But the developer came back with a more modest plan for a six-storey building with 29 apartments, made up of one-three bed, six two-bed and 22 one-bed flats, with retail space on the ground floor. Furthermore, the plan involved less demolition than before, with the part of the building stretching back from Caversham Road -which used to function as a beer malthouse in the 1800s- being retained. The latest scheme was recently decided on by Reading Borough Council's planning committee.Important information
