Residents look set to have their say on plans to build 4,000 new houses in Stoneleigh.

Warwick District Council (WDC) will this week decide whether or not to launch a six-week public consultation on the masterplan for Kings Hill.

The huge new development would cover 269 hectares and include a secondary school, new primary schools, a local centre and health facilities.

The land has already been allocated for development in the local plan which was adopted in 2017.

Since then Lioncourt Strategic Land was granted planning permission for 2,500 houses and 4000 square metres of 'mixed use floorspace' on the land.

The company is working with the three landowners in the area to sell the land to housing developers.

This is expected to happen in early 2026.

"It is currently unknown how many separate developers will be involved in the delivery of that part of the allocation," a WDC report said.

The rest of the land at Kings Hill has already been promoted for development as part of the developing South Warwickshire Local Plan.

Following the consultation, the council would consider all feedback on the plans before bringing a completed masterplan before cabinet for approval.

A decision on the consultation will be made on Thursday 5 February.
