Plans to transform Talisman Square car park into shops and 44 flats have been revealed.

Planning permission was granted in 2016 to build student accommodation and shops on the old car park.

But the new plans will see a four-storey apartment block built instead.

There will also be two retail units at ground level, rather than the five in the previous plans.

Cobalt Estates, in association with Discovery Properties, will showcase the plans to the public in the former Thomas Cook and Hays Travel unit on Tuesday May 31.

Hugo Hawkings, chief executive of Discovery Properties, said: "We are pleased to be in a position to update the public on these plans.

"We have wanted to develop the car park and bring new living and retail opportunities to Kenilworth for a while, and although permission was secured for the student development in 2016, the commercial landscape changed quickly and it was felt a new scheme was needed.

"We are looking forward to showing the public the new plans, and we will use the feedback to help us submit a full planning application to Warwick District Council."

Anyone wishing to find out more should visit Talisman Shopping Centre between 11.00 am and 6.00 pm on Tuesday May 31.
