The former solicitors which could become flats Former offices which housed a solicitors company could become flats, with plans submitted to transform the part of the building in central Reading. Plans have been submitted to convert part of St Laurence House, 10-12 The Forbury, from offices into five flats, seeking permission for the change of use. The three-storey building is in a conservation area and is next to a mixed-use building known as Sussex House. There are flats on the upper floors, with the vacant former EJ Winter & Sons LLP Solicitors on the ground floor. St Laurence House overlooks the Churchyard of St Laurence Church.
