Kenilworth planning roundup: HS2, Woodside and temporary dentist
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
HS2
The appearance of a new car park for the High Speed Rail Interchange Station has been approved by Solihull planners.
HS2 submitted the application which has been given the go-ahead by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council.
The car park's access, general appearance, landscaping and layout has all been approved.

'Through Gritted Teeth'
Plans to demolish the Woodside Hotel to make way for 55 homes have been given the green light "through gritted teeth".
Developer Vistry was last year refused permission to replace the former manor house with 43 houses and a block of flats on environmental grounds.
However, a fresh application - which says it addresses the issues previously raised - has now been reluctantly approved by Warwick District Council's (WDC) planning committee.

'Temporary' Dentists
Plans to build a "temporary" dentists at a Warwick Hospital car park have been put forward to the district council.
South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) has applied for permission for the single-storey unit, which it says would be in place for five years.
The trust said the surgery space is needed to help keep up with the rising demand for services, which it says will only intensify as the local population grows.
