Warwick planning roundup: HS2 progress, solar panels and lifts
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
Solar Panels
A local golf club hotel has been granted retrospective planning permission for new solar panels on its roof.
The Warwickshire Golf and Country Club installed the PV panels on its roof last year, despite having had an application refused by Warwick District Council.
The Club Company UK Ltd - which manages the site - was refused permission previously after council officers said there was not enough information about how far the panels would protrude from the roof.
Lift Progress
Passengers at Warwick Railway Station have this week seen the delivery of a pre-made lift shaft as part of the ongoing accessibility upgrades.
The car park will be temporarily closed as the delivery arrives, with the lift having been built off site.
It will be craned into place later this summer.
A46 Progress
Time-lapse footage shows the giant new bridge being slid into place along the A46 by HS2 near Kenilworth.
The dual carriageway has been closed from Coventry to Kenilworth since Friday 11 April for the major project.
Works so far have seen the road surface removed and the new bridge slid some 64 metres into place.
Still set to last until Thursday 1 May, the rest of the closure will allow HS2 to rebuild the road surface over the new bridge.
