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

Gym 'Misadvised'

A national gym chain has said it was "misadvised" by the property agents behind its new Warwick gym.

The retrospective application comes just months after the chain opened at Horizon House in January.

Traveller Camp

A controversial traveller camp on the edge of Warwick is not in the green belt, the applicant behind the site has said.

A planning hearing is set to be held at the end of July into the development on Henley Road which was last year blocked by Warwick District Council (WDC).

The local authority served an enforcement notice to stop building on site in May last year. This was appealed by the landowners and an inquiry was due to be held last December before being cancelled as a separate planning application was submitted.

Warwick and Stratford District Councils are working on the major planning document which could ultimately govern where 35,000 houses are built in the area.

Nub News recently reported more possible sites for development have been put forward through the third 'call for sites' which formed the latest 'preferred options' public consultation.
