The owners of a private swimming pool in Chapel Row have asked West Berkshire Council if they are allowed to rent it out to local swim schools. They have put in a planning application for permission and say the pool and changing room areas are entirely self contained, with their own entrance and toilet facilities. There is a specified parking area to the side of the house. The application says there are six swim schools that would like to use the pool, covering 28 hours a week spread over seven days. The matter is now with council planners.
