Next secures planning permission for Reading store

Fashion and home furnishings retailer Next has secured plans to open a new store in Reading.

Situated at the Reading Gate Retail Park, the new store will take over a former Carpetright location.

According to planning documents submitted to Reading Borough Council, Next intends to feature a ground floor and a mezzanine where clothing, accessories, furniture and household goods will be sold.

Plans for re-fitting the unit and the external alterations were approved by the council’s planning department in April.

Julie Williams, the council’s planning manager, said: “Officers have concluded that planning permission can be granted for the additional floorspace at this location for retail purposes.”
