Kenilworth planning roundup: extension fight, K2L and industrial plans
By James Smith 8th Aug 2026
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
K2L Progress?
The county council is looking to move forward with the next section of the much-delayed Kenilworth to Leamington cycleway (K2L).
A public consultation has been launched on plans to turn a near-kilometre length of footpath along A452 Kenilworth Road into a shared footpath and cycle path.
The stretch of road is from the junction with Sandy Lane to Gables Lodge.
Industrial Plans
Council planners have given the go-ahead for a Kenilworth industrial unit to be extended.
James Mann Construction has been granted planning permission for a two-storey front and side extension to the building at Princes Drive.
The scheme will see the unit turned from one into three smaller units.

Fight for Extension
A battle between neighbours of an extension to a Kenilworth home will be settled next week.
Councillors at Warwick District Council will decide whether to grant planning permission for a two-storey extension for a house on Arthur Street.
Multiple objections have been received from neighbours who say the works are "excessive," will cause a lot of noise, have an impact on privacy and could allow the property to become an HMO in the future.
