Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.

Plans Put Forward

A planning application has now been submitted for a much-delayed alternative provision school in Warwick, a year after it was planned to open.

The application from G F Tomlinson and the Department for Education show the two-storey school would also have sports facilities, car parking, cycle storage and a multi-use games area.

Talenton will accommodate up to 64 pupils aged between 11 and 16.
