Consultation event for plans to build 1,100 new houses on North Leamington site
A consultation event will take place in June for a developer’s plans to build around 1,100 new houses on land to the north of Leamington.
The parcel of land to the west of Kenilworth Road and South of Sandy Lane near Old Milverton is controlled by leading UK homebuilder, Taylor Wimpey.
The developer says the plans are at a very early sage but that they also include a new primary school, a new food store, a local centre providing a range of community services, a site for future non-residential use, providing potential health, employment or senior living care use, landscaped public open spaces and biodiversity areas, sports pitches and associated facilities and connections to the K2L Kenilworth to Leamington cycle route.
Taylor Wimpey has also said up to 50 per cent of the housing provided will be ‘affordable’, “including shared ownership homes that would appeal to first-time buyers”.
A public consultation event for the plans will take place at Leamington Rugby Club in Kenilworth Road on Thursday June 4 from 2pm to 7pm.
Following the ‘pre-application community consultation’, Taylor Wimpey is aiming to submit an outline planning application to Warwick District Council (WDC) this autumn with a larger consultation then set to take place in the later part of this year.
The developer estimates that, should the outline planning application be given permission by WDC, it will then submit a detailed reserved matters application for the first stage of the development in 2027.
