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

Pub's Demolition Plans

Warwick District Council looks set to allow part of the Grade II listed The Punch Bowl pub to be demolished.

Separate plans to knock down the rear extensions and turn the pub into a house have been submitted.

And councillors will discuss the first application on Wednesday night.

Police HQ Homes

More than 200 objections have been made to "outrageous" plans to build 83 homes on land around Warwickshire Police's Leek Wootton headquarters.

The force sold the land to CALA Homes in December 2021, promising to reinvest the money in its Woodcote House base.

But the developer's plans have been met by resistance from residents who say the scheme has disregarded local peoples' views.

----------

Festival Site

A festival site will be held in Market Place this summer as the town gears up for the Commonwealth Games.

Featuring a huge screen to watch the action, the site will feature a programme of live performances, entertainment and special events.

The free community area will be in place from 28 July to 8 August open from 10am to 10pm.

Canalside Industrial Sale

A Wharf Street industrial complex has been put on the market for £1.5million.

The aptly-named Wharf Centre is split into ten units, all of which are currently occupied.

And the site forms part of the town's rich industrial history, standing on the site of the former Nelson Dale & Co. mill.
