Flint Street will provide a welcoming gateway into Reading town centre, celebrating the area’s heritage while supporting everyday movement and community life.
Flint Street is envisioned as a high-quality urban environment that integrates historic character with contemporary principles of sustainability, creating an attractive and inclusive place to meet, pass through, and spend time, clearly marking the Minster Quarter from the South West, and into the heart of the town.
The development will be a net zero, residential-led mixed-use scheme delivering around 200 new build-to-rent homes, with 30% provided as affordable homes. Redeveloping the former Thames Valley Police HQ site creates an exciting opportunity to improve pedestrian connections to the town centre, introduce more than 2,000 square metres of active ground-floor uses such as shops and community spaces, and provide new public open spaces for everyone to enjoy. The scheme will be largely car-free, with a small number of Blue Badge spaces, and will include dedicated cycle parking to support sustainable travel.
