Here are the biggest planning stories from the last week in and around Warwick.

Poultry Plans

Plans to reinstate a "dilapidated" poultry farm in Norton Lindsey are set to go before district councillors again next week - six months after they first looked at the scheme.

Cycling Funding

More than £400,000 has been secured by the county council to help pay for walking and cycling schemes across Warwickshire.

Active Travel England announced the funding, from its active travel capability fund, for Warwickshire County Council on Monday (January 2).

At £428,214 the sum is more than double that given to the local authority last year.

The funding will pay for early design work and consultation on walking and cycling routes.

The site will also see four new canalside offices built which are currently on the market with property agent Peter Clarke.
