Warwick planning roundup: Showroom saga, Hatton houses and cricket nets
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
Showroom Saga
An appeal has been lodged after controversial plans to turn a former Warwick car showroom into shops was refused.
Warwick District Council’s (WDC) planning committee threw out the application from Warwickshire Partnership, at the third attempt.
The application was refused due to a perceived lack of parking and the impact this would have on the neighbouring roads.
But now the developer has submitted an appeal in an attempt to force through the plans.
Hatton Houses
The developers behind plans for "barrack-style" homes on the edge of Hatton have reduced the number of houses they intend to build.
Altus Homes and Morro Partnerships have already received significant backlash from locals who do not want to see their plans for the estate off Oakdene Crescent approved.
Originally planned for 34 homes, the project on the former Ministry of Defence land was then reduced to 30 homes, but updated designs now plan for just 28.
Cricket Nets
Plans to install new cricket nets at a Leek Wootton sports ground have been given the green light by council planners.
The scheme will see the facilities at Leek Wootton War Memorial Recreation Ground on Quarry Close upgraded.
According to the application to Warwick District Council, the facilities will be 30 metres long, 7.3 metres wide and four metres tall.
