Kenilworth planning roundup: Dog day care, Abbey Fields and battery storage site
By James Smith 28th Jun 2025
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
Day Care Appeal
An appeal has been lodged after council planners refused to grant planning permission to turn a Kenilworth back graden into a dog daycare business.
'Kenilwoof Canine Castle' was refused planning permission for the change of use at the house on Turton Way, with the scheme also including a "summerhouse style building" to house the dogs and a secondary gate to make it harder for the pets to escape.
The application said the dogs would only be on site for three-and-a-half hours per day, with the operating times - Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm - including pick up and drop off for the animals, and the dogs being taken off site for a countryside walk.
A Path For Our Future?
Over 1,000 responses were received to proposals to create a new cycling path through Abbey Fields.
Warwick District Council's 'Path for Our Future' consultation ended earlier this month, having given locals the chance to comment on plans to create a new shared-use walking, wheeling and cycling path through the park.
A total of 1,028 completed surveys were received and the local authority has thanked the community for engaging.
Storage Site
The creation of a battery energy storage system to help prevent blackouts similar to the one suffered in Spain recently has been given the go-ahead by Solihull planners.
Applicant Conrad Energy (Developments) II Limited submitted the plan to develop land at Burton Green Farm last September.
The systems – to store electricity to be used during fluctuations or in the event of a blackout – was earmarked for agricultural fields surrounded by mature field boundaries and woodland.
