Leamington Spa Residential Scheme Receives Detailed Planning Consent

Published on 16 December 2015

Warwick District Council has unanimously resolved to grant planning consent to JTPs 212-home Station Approach scheme in Leamington Spa for Waterloo Housing Group.

Designs for the project, which will deliver a mixture of flats and houses, were described by the Council as “an innovative, unique and unashamedly modern interpretation of the traditional Spa town architecture”. The 75% affordable housing provision was also noted as exemplar.

Proposals include a new landscaped square which will create an animated sense of arrival at the site and bring identity to the new development, whilst referencing the rich history of the area. Enhanced pedestrian and cycle connections with neighbouring communities and the wider landscape will further enhance the townscape.

The site is in a key location directly north of Leamington Spa Station, linking it to the south with the town centre to the north, and will finally be developed after several years of failed plans.

A comprehensive community engagement process was conducted prior to the submission of the planning application, where local people and stakeholders were invited to contribute to the proposals.

Construction is due to start in summer 2016.
