Plans to demolish Reading s landmark gas holder to make way for a block of flats have been approved.
Councillors agreed the plan to tear down Gas Holder No.4 in Alexander Turner Close after initially refusing the demolition on safety grounds.
Danescroft carried out a risk assessment and put measures in place to prevent the spread of contamination to satisfy the council.
Once the tower is removed, 130 flats will be built on the site.
Former Reading councillor Richard Stainthorpe said the flats would be a significant improvement for this part of Reading .
