Plans to build a row of nine, three-bedroom houses along the Grand Union Canal have been put forward to Warwick District Council.

If approved, the scheme would see the three-storey development built on currently undeveloped land at Cape Road.

Put forward by Cape Homes Ltd, the plans would also see 27 car parking spaces built.

"The current proposal presents an opportunity to develop the site with well designed housing, while replanting the boundaries of the site along Cape Road and Wedgnock Lane with more attractive and robust landscaping and tree planting," the planning application said.

The planning application said the view of the maisonettes from the canal would be "absorbed" with planting around the site.

It also said the Canal & River Trust had been consulted on the design for the houses.

"Particular attention has been paid to the canal facing south elevation to both enhance views from the proposed dwellings onto the canal and to ensure an attractive vista onto the development when viewed by users of the canal," the application explained.

"The scale and massing of the proposal has been informed by that of traditional and more recent canal side developments to achieve a scheme that best utilises its canal side setting."
