Kenilworth planning roundup: HS2, car park's future and dangerous road
By James Smith 27th Dec 2025
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
HS2's Planning Boost
Council planners have given the green light to a new pumping station which is "critical" to the HS2 line.
HS2's plans for Stareton Lane have now been signed off, after back and forth between the developer and Warwick District Council (WDC).
The work will see the facility built in Stoneleigh with a new access road and 22 lighting columns built.
Pub's Future Uncertain
Local residents are being asked to share their views on a car park at Kenilworth Castle.
The town council is seeking views on the future of the hard standing at Castle Green.
An online consultation has been launched, asking locals how frequently they use the piece of land, what they use it for and what impact parking charges would have.
Dangerous Road
A permanent pedestrian crossing on a "dangerous" Kenilworth road may not be installed until 2027, residents have been told.
A petition calling for the speed limit on Leamington Road to be reduced to 30mph and for a safe crossing to be installed was presented by locals to Warwickshire County Council this week.
Presenting the petition, the public speaker said the works were "not a matter of convenience" but a "matter of safety".
