Detailed plans for more allotments in Kenilworth have been revealed by a local housebuilder.

Vistry Group has put forward plans for the facilities at its new housing estate off Glasshouse Lane.

The allotments will form part of the 620 homes which were given planning permission in 2022.

An application to Warwick District Council says there will be "high-quality space for allotments" over two plots.

The first will have 15 allotments - a mixture of full and half size plots - and the second will have 12 with a mixture of full, half and quarter size.

"The site is set out to provide a variety of plot sizes from approximately 250m² (full plot), 125m2 (half plot) to 75-80m2 (quarter), including accessible plots close to parking," the application explained.

Each plot will also receive a timber shed and 210L water butt.

Designs show the two spots will be surrounded by fencing and new hedgerows.

Vistry said: "Kenilworth Town Council will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance and management of the allotment areas during the lifetime of the development. 

"The rectification period shall be for 12 months, after which the town council is liable for any failures, maintenance and management including necessary replanting, watering, resurfacing, repairs and or replacements."

Detailed plans for the major estate - which will wrap around the Woodside Hotel and new Kenilworth School - were approved by Warwick District Council in November 2022 despite concerns over sustainability.

In 2021 WDC announced it would be investing £60 million to help build 620 homes next to the new Kenilworth School, in a joint project with Countryside Partnerships - which is part of Vistry Group.
