The fine Edwardian House in Reading THE OWNER of a ‘fine’ Edwardian House has finally been given the green light to turn their property into flats having been knocked back on six previous occasions. The home, at 39 Brunswick Hill near Reading West station, has been the subject of three planning applications in three years. Each time the applicant was told their plan to convert the property into a number of flats was not acceptable and each time a subsequent appeal was thrown out by national planning inspectors. But a fourth plan, to turn the house into eight new flats, was approved by councillors earlier this week despite opposition from more than a dozen neighbours unhappy at the changes proposed to the ‘fine’ and ‘attractive’ villa.
