Background The property is offered for sale by the Trustees of Zoar Chapel following its closure and subsequent demolition and clearance of the site. The site offers clear opportunity for an attractive development to suit potential purchaser’s plans and accommodate the local market (subject to consents).

Location The site is superbly located in a predominantly residential sector of Reading close to the University, Oracle Shopping centre and Broad Street Mall. The site is also within easy walking distance of the mainline railway station, Royal Berkshire Hospital and various leisure facilities.

Planning The former chapel on this site was demolished at the beginning of this year following a prior notification process with Reading Borough Council. Planning Consultants acting for the Trust made a Pre-Application submission to Reading Borough Council. This was followed by a meeting with the officer assigned to the case. Subsequently a formal response was received and the Planning Consultants have provided further helpful advice.

The principle of a scheme for 6 to 8 flats/maisonettes (including a lower level as previously) would appear to be in line with policy. Prospective purchasers must make their own enquiries.

Planning Documents Copies of the Pre-App responses from Reading Borough Council and the Consultants subsequent advice are available on request.

Services The former chapel was serviced by mains water, electricity and drainage all of which have been terminated but remain on site. Purchasers to make their own investigations.

GENERAL Method of Sale The freehold of the property is available for sale as a whole by private treaty. Vacant possession will be given on completion.

Offers The vendors will consider offers submitted on an unconditional basis or on a subject to planning basis.
