Warwick planning roundup: 259 homes, pub to flats and roadwork chaos
Here are the biggest planning stories from the last week in and around Warwick.
More Homes Allowed
Countryside Partnerships, working together with Homes England, has finalised the purchase of land for 259 new homes at Upper Lighthorne.
Set to be known as Windmill View, planning permission for the major development has also been signed off by Stratford-upon-Avon District Council.
Of the 259 new homes being built in the first phase of the project, 130 will be affordable homes owned and managed by Citizen, one the UK's most trusted housing providers, following a forward-sale agreement.
Then 129 will be sold on the open market by Linden Homes.

Pub Saga Continues
Fresh plans to turn a canalside pub into flats have been submitted to Warwick District Council (WDC), just months after the building was put up for sale.
If approved, this latest scheme would see the Waterside building turned into eight residential units.
The first floor, which is already accommodation, would be split into two apartments, while the ground floor would be turned into six dwellings.

Roadwork Chaos
Controversial roadworks for Taylor Wimpey's new housing development in Hatton are set to begin this month.
Locals have continued to campaign against the roadworks around the Union View estate, saying they face 11 months of queues and disruption.
The works to widen the road, build a pedestrian crossing point, and to improve footways, cycleways, drainage and street lights were due to begin in October but will now start on November 20.
Warwickshire County Council has promised to keep disruption to a minimum.
