Kenilworth planning roundup: 63 homes, hospital portacabin and school's redevelopment
Here are the biggest Kenilworth planning stories from the past week.
Councillor Questions Trust
A decision to allow 119 homes to be built on a former farm site in Baginton have prompted one councillor to wonder if residents will ever be able to trust decision-makers in the future.
Members of Warwick District Council's planning committee approved plans to build 63 houses on the lower portion of Rosswood Farm, Coventry Road, when they met this week, having previously approved 56 affordable houses on the other part of the plot.

Hospital's Hut
A temporary paediatric assessment unit built at Warwick Hospital during the pandemic could become a permanent feature if plans are approved by Warwick District Council.
South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust has applied to keep the portacabin, which sits over 21 parking spaces in car park C, to help meet the rising demand for space at the hospital.
The unit was built during the pandemic under permitted development rights "to provide an immediate response to coronavirus".
The portacabin houses consultation and treatment rooms, storage and a staff room.

School Sites
Kenilworth residents are being invited to find out more about the planned redevelopment of the school sites at Leyes Lane and Rouncil Lane.
The two sites will have houses built on them, once Kenilworth School has completed the move to its new home on Glasshouse Lane.
Warwick District Council along with architects Atkins Global will be holding a community engagement event on Wednesday 18 January.
