Warwick planning roundup: Police parking, McDonald's and 'local housing'
By James Smith 15th Feb 2025
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
Police Parking
The number of parking spaces at Warwickshire Police's Leek Wootton headquarters needs to double, a planning application has revealed.
The force has applied for planning permission to create another 362 spaces at the Warwick Road HQ which it says will help alleviate a number of issues on site.
"The overriding objective of the proposed development is to deliver adequate capacity of vehicle parking to meet Warwickshire Police's operational needs, to improve pedestrian safety and legibility for staff and visitors and improve site security given the nature of operations," the application explained.
24/7 McDonald's
A Warwick McDonald's has taken the next step in its plan to stay open 24/7.
The fast food outlet at Tesco on Emscote Road has already been given planning permission - for a trial period - to stay open through the night.
But now it needs a licence from Warwick District Council (WDC) before the major change can be implemented.
Local Housing Plan
A £738,000 grant has been signed off to help a local needs housing scheme in Claverdon
Stratford-on-Avon District Council's cabinet yesterday (February 10) signed off on the funding for Warwickshire Rural Housing Association (WRHA) to help build the second phase of an affordable housing scheme on Breach Lane.
The development will provide 10 affordable homes of different types and sizes for local people, after planning permission was granted at the end of 2024.
