Wingstop to Install EV Charging Points Soon

Wingstop's new Reading Gate restaurant could get EV chargers after its owners applied to install 12 Instavolt points in the retail park car park (PL/25/1752). The plan would add nine standard and three accessible bays, plus a 20 ft storage container, and remove about 26 parking spaces. Chargers would serve Wingstop customers and visitors to other shops, including KFC and B&Q.

New nail bar approved (PL/25/1690). A unit just off Caversham Road at the York Road junction will become a nail salon, replacing Orien Health. Planning officer Huimin Chen said the changes were modest, so permission was granted on 10 April. Subdivision work also creates space for a locksmith.

House confirmed as HMO (PL/25/1168). A terraced house in Cholmeley Road was ruled an HMO after the owner showed it has been three self-contained flats for more than four years: a two-bed ground-floor flat, a first-floor studio and a one-bed loft flat. The owner got the legal certificate; Streetview from May last year shows CCTV at the property.

Home extension approved (PL/25/1472). On Windermere Road, the owner won permission for a single-storey rear extension where a garage once stood, to create a new kitchen and a front porch. The existing kitchen will become a dining room.

See the council planning portal for each application using the reference numbers above.
