Leamington planning roundup: New supermarket, shop's makeover and HMO
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
HMO Blocked
A proposal to convert a five-bedroom residential house in Leamington Spa into a privately rented five-bed House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) has been refused by Warwick District Council.
The application, which concerned 29 Westlea Road, was turned down due to fears the change would exacerbate existing issues such as noise, disturbance, and anti-social behaviour, ultimately harming the quality of life for nearby residents.
In total, four public objections were submitted.
New Supermarket?
Supermarket giant Lidl has been given a boost in its plans to open a new supermarket between Warwick and Leamington Spa.
The discount retailer had submitted a scheme to Warwick District Council which would see Europa House on Heathcote Lane demolished to make way for the new store.
Plans show the warehouse building on the 2.12 acre site would make way for the new supermarket and 125-vehicle car park.
Shopfront's Revamp
A fabric and tailoring store in Leamington Spa has been granted planning permission to improve access to its upper floors and modify its shopfront.
Haberdashery & Fabric Hub, located at 52 Parade, submitted a proposal to install a new door that would provide separate access to the building's upper floors.
This change will allow the upper levels to be let to a separate tenant, while the ground floor will remain a retail space.
