Kenilworth planning roundup: landfill site, stable appeal and K2L
Here are the biggest Kenilworth planning stories from the past week.
Landfill to Leisure
A former landfill site around Kenilworth's recycling centre could be turned into a public space, if a new town council project is successful.
Town councillors last week unanimously backed a motion to see if the land around Cherry Orchard could be brought into community use.
The green space - which is owned by Warwickshire County Council (WCC) - is currently private land, although it is informally used by local dog walkers.

Stable Appeal
Plans to turn a derelict barn into a block of stables will be decided by a planning inspector, after an appeal was lodged against the council's decision.
Warwick District Council (WDC) had originally refused permission to rebuild the collapsed Hammonds Barn on Purlieu Lane into a private stables, saying the scheme was inappropriate in the green belt.
The proposal near Kenilworth Castle had received a number of objections, including ones from Kenilworth Town Council and Historic England.

K2L Consultation
Residents have until the end of July to have their say on a number of roadworks in the centre of Leamington Spa.
The works, which form part of the first section of the K2L cycleway, include a new speed bump, parking restrictions and more shared cycleways and footpaths.
Last autumn Warwickshire County Council held a public consultation on the first part of the 5km cycle route, asking locals to share their views on new cycleways along Kenilworth Road in Leamington.
