Warwick planning roundup: Drive thru, McDonald's and community centre
By James Smith 7th Dec 2024
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
Drive Thru
Plans to turn an empty canalside pub into a coffee drive thru unit have been pulled, weeks after planning permission was granted for the same building to be turned into flats.
Gentian Leamington Spa Ltd had put forward a fresh scheme to convert the former Waterside pub into a takeaway coffee shop, and mothball the existing first floor apartment.
The application was the latest in a long-running saga to repurpose the building which has been closed for a number of years.
McDonald's Decision
Neighbours will next week find out whether a Warwick McDonald’s will be given permission to stay open 24/7.
Dawood Ibtehsam has applied to keep the Emscote Road eatery open throughout the week, with current restrictions meaning he is only able to trade from 6am to 11pm currently.
A number of residents have already objected to the application, which is set to go before Warwick District Council’s (WDC) planning committee meeting next week.
A report to be discussed by councillors has recommended the scheme be given the green light.
Community Centre
A 17-year wait for a new community centre in Warwick looks set to come to an end, with councillors advised to approve planning permission for the development at Priory Pools Park next week.
A new charity has been set up to back the bid for the new Priory Pools Community Centre, with a planning application for the build due to be discussed at next week's Warwick District Council (WDC) planning committee meeting.
The business case for the new £2 million centre has already been supported by the local authority.
