Warwick planning roundup: Car showroom, Aldi and solar panels
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
Panel Plans
Solar panels are set to be installed at St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre, as part of a district-wide rollout of green energy plans.
Council planners have said Warwick District Council does not need prior approval for the works, which will see two flat roofs on the west side of the building covered in panels.
The installation will have an energy output of 218 kWp.
Supermarket to Storage
A former Aldi supermarket could be demolished to make way for a huge new storage facility.
Big Yellow Storage has applied for planning permission to demolish the former supermarket on Queensway to make way for the major new facility.
Plans submitted to Warwick District Council show the building would provide 2,530m² of permanent self-storage floor space, with the potential to expand to 7,590m² by adding demountable mezzanine levels.
Showroom Saga
Council planners have recommended a major application to turn a former Warwick car showroom into two new shops is refused.
Warwick District Council's (WDC) planning committee will next week discuss the application to repurpose the former Kia Showroom on Stratford Road, which has been vacant since April 2023.
A report to be considered by councillors has recommended Warwickshire Partnership's planning application is refused, saying there would not be enough parking on site.
