Warwick planning roundup: Five-storey block of flats, apartments refused and new pharmacy
Here are the biggest planning stories from the last week in and around Warwick.
Canalside Pub to be Demolished
Two town councils have both objected to plans to demolish a canalside pub and replace it with a five-storey block of flats.
The 42-bed apartment block is planed by Cresco Investors Limited.
But Warwick Town Council and Leamington Spa Town Council have both objected to the plans.

Apartments Refused
Plans to convert a town centre office into flats have been refused by the district council due to the impact on a Grade II listed building.
Cobalt Developments had applied to create two, one-bed flats above The Iron Works and Charlie Nails Salon at Market Place.
The Stratford-based developers also wanted to build a three-storey extension on the back of the listed building to house a new staircase.
But Warwick District Council planners refused the application stating that it would harm the character of the site.

New Pharmacy Plans
A new pharmacy in Warwick could include a 24-hour prescription collection machine if plans are approved.
Pharmacy group Avicenna is set to take over the empty unit at the new Priory Medical Centre.
----------
Victorian School to Houses
A former language school in Sherbourne which dates back to the 19th century could be turned into a house with at least nine bedrooms.
Sherbourne Priors, on Watery Lane, was first used as a training centre from 1978 and then latterly a English language school.
The centre, which had five classrooms and a games room, accepted children aged seven to 13 and housed them in dormitories.
----------
School's Artwork
An artwork that will celebrate the discovery of a Roman barn could be installed at a Warwick school.
The 30ft barn was unearthed in February 2018 during the building of King's High School.
To commemorate the discovery the school has commissioned artist Liz Middleton to turn a student's poem into a permanent four metre high display on the wall of the school's main reception building.
