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

Riverside House

Warwick District Council's Riverside House headquarters is expected to be sold Homes England in the coming weeks and turned into a residential development.

Local MP Matt Western revealed a deal for the Leamington offices could be completed by the end of the month as he called on the council's leader to halt the deal.

The Labour MP for Leamington and Warwick is calling on WDC "at the 11th hour" to pause the sale to allow the new cabinet - of Green and Labour councillors - to fully discuss the decision.

Originally planned to be complete in summer 2022, the major scheme has been slowed by "various issues" including supply problems.
