Warwick planning roundup: 67 homes, hotel's progress and £1.5m Roadworks
Here are the biggest planning stories from the last week in and around Warwick.
Homes Decision Deferred
Locals are set to be left waiting for a decision on controversial plans to build 67 homes along the A46 in Warwick.
Warwick District Council's (WDC) planning committee was due to discuss the plans for Goggbridge Lane tonight (March 13), with planners recommending the scheme be given the green light.

Owner Merlin announced last month the new development would open on 22 July, after planning permission for the controversial development was granted in May 2022.
The new hotel, which promises to have its decor inspired by the War of the Roses, is being built on some of the Stratford Road Car Park.
