Here are the biggest planning stories from the last week in and around Warwick.

New Homes

District planners have signed off on detailed plans for 180 new homes in Warwick.

Developer William Davies Ltd has already been given outline planning permission for the Gallows Hill estate near Warwick Technology Park, but has now had its reserved matters application approved by Warwick District Council (WDC).

The company said the designs for the 13.77 hectare site "respect the local character and, alongside adjacent developments, continues to move the area towards a sustainable future through an increase in housing choice".

Mallory Court Hotel has been given planning permission to give a makeover to many of the rooms at the grade II listed house, saying the works are needed to keep the business going.

Warwick District Council has now given consent for bathrooms in many of the rooms to be completely stripped and redesigned.

But local representative Cllr Peter Phillips, speaking against the application, said a decision should be deferred asking for a further traffic survey to be completed.
