Plans to build 35 houses in Barford have been put forward to Warwick District Council.

Kendrick Homes has applied for planning permission for the new development, which will include a mixture of one to five bedroom homes.

If approved, the scheme would see grassland along Westham Lane turned into the new estate which the developer describes as a "logical infill" for the village.

"The proposed development is relatively modest, designed to respect the local vernacular and surroundings, and includes existing landscape buffers to the north, east, south and west," the application says. 

"This allows an instant landscape strategy which, in conjunction with additional on site plot planting and would further reinforce the visual aesthetic."

Plans show the three acre site would have a mixture of detached, semi-detached and terraced single, two and two and a half storey houses built.

Kendrick says 40 per cent of these would be designated affordable housing - the lowest amount required in the current local plan.

"The site offers an excellent opportunity for a development which integrates well within the existing settlement which complies with its residential mass and scale," the application added.

Objections have already been raised to the proposal.

"Barford is a sustainable location for the scale of development proposed, as it did when the council approved the development on adjacent sites," the application said.

"It has a range of local facilities and is also connected by a suitable bus service to wider settlements."
