Council planners have signed off on a Kenilworth pub's makeover.

Warwick District Council has granted planning permission for Ember Inns to install new signs and repaint the Green Man on Warwick Road.

The application is for two sets of illuminated pub name signs, a double sided illuminated projecting sign and a non-illuminated sign.

Drawings attached to the application show some of the outside of the pub is to be repainted in darker tones.

Signing off on the application, a council report said: "It is considered that the proposal would not detract from the amenity of the area and would not be detrimental to public safety.

"The proposal is therefore considered to comply with the policies listed and advertisement consent should be granted."

In 2022, planning permission was granted to refurbish the pub's garden seating area.
