A local water tower which was converted into a holiday let could soon be turned into a permanent home.

Planning permission for the redundant tower in Burton Green to be turned into a quirky holiday home was approved by Warwick District Council in 2016.

When the scheme was approved, a condition was agreed that the building only be occupied by one user for up to six weeks.

Now, the owners of the Hob Lane building want this condition removed so it can become a permanent residence.

The application said: "They [the owners] obtained planning consent in 2016 to convert the redundant water tower into residential accommodation, carried out thoughtfully, using materials and elements from the functioning water reservoir to create interesting accommodation and have been arranging short-term lettings ever since."

It continued: "The time has now come when they no longer wish to let the property but provide an opportunity for someone to make this unique building their home.

"They therefore request that the condition, restricting the occupation of property to short-term lets of a maximum of six weeks be removed."
