Kenilworth planning roundup: stream to be diverted, roundabout and cancer centre
By James Smith 11th Apr 2026
Here are the biggest local planning stories from the past week.
Stream Scheme
A local stream is set to be diverted by HS2 to allow the new railway line to pass.
HS2 has submitted plans to re-route the unnamed watercourse below the line near Offchurch.
Designs put forward to Warwick District Council show a 76 metre-long culvert would be created as well as a new cutting for the stream near Hunningham Road.
Cancer Centre Concerns
More concerns have been raised about plans for a new cancer treatment centre to be built between Leamington Spa and Kenilworth.
Nuffield Health & Icon Group has applied to Warwick District Council for what it says will be a "state of the art" facility at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital, on Old Milverton Lane.
The application had already been met with an objection from Old Milverton and Blackdown Joint Parish Council which said the scheme was "inappropriate development" in the green belt.

Roundabout Woes
A scheme to build a new roundabout on a busy Kenilworth road which have been continually put back have once again been delayed.
Works to create the new junction at the entrance to Stoneleigh View on Glasshouse Lane were due to begin on March 16, but construction is yet to start.
The new junction, which will also include the entrance to Stansfield Grove, was expected to be built in 2024, but has repeatedly been put back.
