Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.

Roundabout

Works to build a new roundabout on a busy Kenilworth road are expected to last at least four months, Warwickshire County Council has confirmed.

The four-arm roundabout will be built on Glasshouse Lane as part of the new Stoneleigh View housing estate, which is already under construction.

The new junction, which will also include the entrance to Stansfield Grove, will be built by contractors appointed by the council, with works expected to start in May.

Farm Site

Locals are set to be kept waiting until June to find out whether 250 homes near the Berkswell Windmill will be given planning permission.

Developer Barwood Land has applied for planning permission from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC) for the development between Hob Lane and Windmill Lane between Kenilworth and Balsall Common.

If approved, the scheme would see a farm, chicken runs, commercial units and a caravan storage site flattened to make way for the estate.
