Warwick planning roundup: Flood defences, new housing developer and Punch Bowl
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
A46 Defence Scheme
A new flood defence scheme along the A46 in South Warwickshire has been handed a planning boost.
The Environment Agency (EA) said the project could protect nearly 300 homes, with the scheme hoped to come to fruition in 2026.
EA has put forward plans around St John's Brook where it says there is a "very significant risk of flooding", particularly around Exham Close and Woodloes Estate.
Developer Deals
A new developer is set to take forward a new housing scheme between Warwick and Leamington, with a decision on its planning application expected next week.
Warwick District Council's planning committee will next week discuss a reserved matters application - which deals with design details - for 150 new homes off Harbury Lane.
Now being put forward by Miller Homes, the application forms part of the much wider Oakley Grove estate which will ultimately see 900 homes, a secondary school, primary school and country park built.
Pub's Future?
Councillors will decide the future of a closed Warwick pub next week as an application to turn it into a house goes before the planning committee.
A host of residents, and Warwick Town Council, have objected to the latest application from Secret Properties Ltd to repurpose the Punch Bowl, but a council report has recommended planning permission be granted.
The latest in a series of applications for the site at The Butts, the scheme was meant to be discussed by Warwick District Council's planning committee in October but was pulled from the agenda at the last minute.
