The land was purchased in 2023 with a Self-build project in mind and the owner pursued a design change that led to permission being passed on 15th June 2026, planning application no pl/25/0620, for a “Self-build erection of a single dwelling house, with associated access, parking and landscaping, including the relocation of a boundary wall and the removal of a bunker structure”.

Legal Agreement dated 2nd December 2021 which contains an obligation on the site owner to pay the following financial contributions to Reading Borough Council upon occupation of the new dwelling: There is no Community Infrastructure levy with the current permission in place as the planning was submitted to be a Self-build project so cil is exempt.

An affordable housing contribution of £68,333 (index-linked from December 2021). The Council’s legal fees of £1,760. A monitoring fee of £400.
