Bennet Court, Reading Offices in south Reading, near the Madejski Stadium, could be converted into 49 flats. Plans have been submitted to Reading Borough Council (RBC) by Ultima Properties Ltd to transform two office buildings at Bennet Court, Bennet Road into apartments. Bennet Court is two detached office buildings, and an application has been submitted for each of the buildings. Plot one will become 27 flats plot two will become 22 flats, under the plans. Permitted development laws mean offices can be converted into housing without the need for planning permission if they meet certain prior approval criteria. The developer will just need prior approval from the council, which will assess if it meets the criteria.
