Delivering a new school, local centre, foodstore and outdoor recreational facilities alongside new homes.
Our proposals for North Leamington are infrastructure-led, recognising the importance of delivering the services and facilities required to support a new neighbourhood of approximately 1,100 new homes.
New primary school
A new primary school is included within the illustrative masterplan. It is currently proposed that this will be located towards the south of the site, north of the existing allotments.
New foodstore
The development will also provide a new foodstore to serve not just the new neighbourhood, but the wider community. Discussions are taking place with national food retailers as potential future operators of the store. It is currently proposed that this would be located in the eastern part of the site, immediately adjacent to the proposed access from Kenilworth Road.
Local centre
A local centre will be provided centrally within the new neighbourhood. This would provide a range of community uses, including areas to meet and socialise, as well as the potential for café, local retail, coworking, community meeting space and other such uses.
Playing fields and changing facilities
As part of the open space proposals for the new neighbourhood, new playing fields are proposed along with associated changing facilities. It is currently envisaged that these would be provided as football pitches.
Potential future health, care or employment land
A parcel of land in the northeastern corner of the site, adjacent to the existing Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital has been set aside for potential future non-residential use which could include health, senior living care, or employment use.

Investing in wider community infrastructure
A key consideration with a planning proposal such as this is to ensure that local services receive the investment they need to serve the additional demand arising from the development.
In addition to the new community facilities that will be provided within the proposed development, significant investment into local infrastructure such as healthcare and education will be generated.
Specific details about any financial contributions will be informed by consultation carried out by Warwick District Council with statutory bodies such as the local NHS Integrated Care Board and the Local Education Authority on their requirements.
All financial contributions will be agreed and secured via a legally-binding agreement (called a Section 106 agreement) between Taylor Wimpey and the council.
The development will also generate significant Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding that will be paid to the council towards other infrastructure requirements.
We understand that community infrastructure is a key priority of existing residents. Please use our feedback questionnaire to tell us your priorities for infrastructure investment.
The development will generate significant funding for key infrastructure such as healthcare and education, to be determined in consultation with the relevant statutory consultees.
