PEOPLE are invited to give their views on plans for a new neighbourhood north of Leamington.
The proposed development of 1,100 homes is located to the west of Kenilworth Road and is one of the options for increasing housing supply in the district in the emerging South Warwickshire Local Plan.
Taylor Wimpey’s Warwick-based Midlands division is preparing outline plans for the new neighbourhood which will not only include new homes but a new primary school, a local centre providing community services, a new food store to serve the wider north Leamington community, and extensive outdoor recreational facilities such as playing fields, play areas and community orchards.
Up to 50 per cent of the new houses would be affordable, with a mix of homes for social rent and shared ownership. All homes are proposed to be low carbon, incorporating air source heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.
The proposals also include public green spaces, green corridors and new walking and cycling routes.
And sustainable travel is a key focus, with connectivity with the Kenilworth to Leamington (K2L) active travel project forming an important part of the plans.
Gary Tucker, strategic projects director at Taylor Wimpey, said: “We recognise that strategic growth at this scale represents a generational change for Leamington, building on the previous growth of the New Milverton area. For this reason, we are keen to involve local people in shaping the vision for a new neighbourhood that will integrate with the existing community of north Leamington in a sustainable and positive way.
“We want to ensure that, alongside delivering high-quality homes to help meet the council’s housing targets, we also provide the infrastructure and facilities that will serve the needs of new and existing residents. The existing community has an important role to play in the process, and this consultation is an opportunity to share priorities and aspirations for sustainable, infrastructure-led development at an early stage.”
Visit www.twnorthleamington.co.uk to give feedback before Sunday June 14.
A drop-in exhibition will also be held at Leamington Rugby Club in Kenilworth Road on Thursday June 4 between 2pm and 7pm, giving people the chance to view the proposals, speak with the project team and ask questions.
All feedback received will be considered as an outline planning application is prepared for submission to Warwick District Council later in 2026.
