Mill Lane Receives Planning Consent For £70 Million Build-to-rent Scheme in Reading

We’re proud to be part of the team supporting the John Lewis Partnership’s latest milestone: planning consent for a transformative £70 million build-to-rent scheme in Reading.

This project will deliver 170 high-quality, energy-efficient homes on a brownfield site, with 16% affordable housing, prioritised for local residents.

The unanimous decision by Reading Borough Council highlights JLP’s exceptional community engagement and 70-year commitment to the town. It’s more than housing – it’s about building a thriving, connected community.

We’re thrilled to contribute to a project that blends sustainability, social value, and design excellence. Congratulations to everyone involved!
