By James Smith 27th May 2024
Residents from across the district are being asked to have their say on the long-term growth of the University of Warwick.
A so-called draft masterplan has already been put together for the university's campus, which could include a one-way loop and 1,200 more student beds.
Locals are being asked to have their say on the document, which identifies a number of proposals up to 2033 .
These also include plans for a new business school, social sciences quarter, science precinct and energy innovation centre and the creation of an eco-park.
Put together by Warwick District Council in partnership with Coventry City Council and the University of Warwick, plans also "address on and off campus transport infrastructure".
Warwick District Council's portfolio holder for place Cllr Chris King commented: "Our local plan acknowledges the important role that Warwick University plays in supporting the local economy and the need for it to grow and develop as a leading player in higher education, research and innovation both nationally and internationally.
"If adopted the Warwick Campus Framework Masterplan SPD will provide us with supplementary guidance which will assist the determination of future planning applications. I therefore recommend that interested parties take the time to review and comment on the document."
The document is subject to a six-week statutory consultation, starting on Friday 24 May with the deadline for submissions Friday 5 July 2024.
