Taylor Wimpey submitted the first version to Warwick District Council in December 2017 but withdrew these on April 24 2018, which was the same day the plans were due to go before Warwick District Council’s planning committee.
Despite a number of objections and concerns raised by residents when the plans first surfaced, the access to the site is still planned to be along the southern boundary of the site with ‘widening to Birmingham Road with a ghost right-hand turn lane’.
There were more than 100 letters of objection against this application, including one from Budbrooke Parish Council.
