Public asked for views on future Warwick University planning framework

Members of the public are being asked to share their views on a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which will provide a framework for guiding the level of growth of the campus at the University of Warwick as well as formalising design principles.

The draft masterplan, prepared by Warwick District Council in partnership with Coventry City Council and the University of Warwick, identifies a number of proposals up to 2033 based on the long-term vision and priorities of the University. These include plans for a new business school, social sciences quarter, science precinct and energy innovation centre and the creation of an eco-park. The plans also address on and off campus transport infrastructure and the provision of additional student accommodation. If adopted the Warwick Campus Framework Masterplan SPD will provide WDC with supplementary guidance which will assist the determination of future planning applications.

The SPD is subject to a six-week statutory consultation, starting on Friday 24 May with the deadline for submissions Friday 5 July 2024.
Printed copies of the documents are available for inspection during normal opening hours at the following locations.
• Royal Pump Rooms, Parade, Leamington Spa
• Brunswick Healthy Living Centre
• Kenilworth Library
• Leamington Spa Library
• Lillington Library
• Warwick Library (Shire Hall, Warwick)
• Whitnash Civic Centre & Library

The consultation document, and supporting information, can be viewed online on the Warwick District Council website.
