Below are the key Kenilworth planning applications recently received or discussed by Warwick District Council.

With Burton Green residents offered a public presentation on the plans, councillors have asked why Kenilworth is not being treated the same.

Barn's second life

The owners even want to reinstate the original doors.

Tree must stay in place

WDC said: "The tree made a very significant contribution toward the local amenity and was readily visible from a wide range of public view points."
