Kenilworth planning roundup: Talisman Square, roadworks and pub's events

Here are the biggest Kenilworth planning stories from the past week.
Talisman Square
More than 100 locals have objected to "dark and oppressive" plans to build a four-storey block of flats in the centre of Kenilworth.
Cobalt Estates submitted a planning application to turn Talisman Square car park into 44 flats and two new shops last July.
Warwick District Council is yet to make a decision on the scheme, but locals have raised serious concerns about the development saying it is "in the best interests of the town" for it not to go ahead.

School Speeding Scheme
A series of works along Glasshouse Lane are set to begin next week as part of preparations for the new Kenilworth School.
Works will see new cycle lanes, toucan crossings and an access road built.
A 20mph speed zone will also be created in front of the school, with speed humps and cushions installed.
-------------
Stoneleigh Offices
A leading commercial property expert says a prestige new office development site in Stoneleigh offers a partial answer to the region's dire shortage of commercial land.
Abbey Park, an office campus, is one of the few areas in Warwickshire which can offer consented ready-to-build development plots.
The new phase at the Abbey Park campus is planned to house five Grade A office buildings, ranging from 15,000 sq ft. to 36,000 sq ft.
-------------
Pub's Events Extinguished
A popular High Street pub will be unable to host as many of its popular outdoor events after councillors imposed stricter rules on the venue.
Following a lengthy meeting of its licensing committee last month, Stratford-on-Avon District Council has told The Nags Head in Henley-in-Arden that it must now give a month's notice before hosting an outdoor event.
And the pub - which has invested £60,000 in creating an outdoor space - will only be allowed to have three event days each year, after locals complained about noise from the venue.
