The two sites, on adjacent land near Thickthorn Island and Crewe Lane, will have around 1,400 new homes between them according to the recently agreed Local Plan.

And now, residents' views are being sought by Warwick District Council on the masterplan, called 'Land East of Kenilworth Development Brief', which adds an extra layer of guidelines for building on the two sites.

Councillor Alan Rhead, portfolio holder for Development, said: “This development brief is the framework by which we can ensure that the highest quality of development is provided for future generations, of which we can be truly proud. I would urge as many residents as possible to give us their views.”

The Thickthorn site will have eight hectares of employment land, and 18 hectares of land will be on the Crewe Lane site for Kenilworth School and Sixth Form's new location at Southcrest Farm.

A new primary school and a 'local centre' for the community will also be built.
