West Berkshire Council Eastern Area Planning Committee has approved an application to build a 28-space car park in Englefield.
The proposal had been lodged by the Englefield Estate and the new facility – located along The Street – will be linked to Englefield Primary School by an off-road footpath.
However, the project is not directly linked to the school and all residents would be able to use the bays.
Twelve spaces for bicycles will also be made available on site.
The estate says that the car park is a solution to the village s ongoing problems with traffic.
