Have your say on the South Warwickshire Local Plan

The South Warwickshire Local Plan Publication Version (Regulation 19) consultation is now live and runs for a period of 7 weeks from Tuesday 21 July 2026 until 23:59pm on Tuesday 8 September 2026. During this time, any person or organisation may make representations

The Plan will determine where new housing, roads, schools and green spaces are built over the next 25 years. This consultation is one of the last opportunities for residents to influence the Plan before it is submitted to the Government for independent examination.

How will the Plan affect Burton Green?

The draft Plan proposes allocating most of Burton Green’s remaining agricultural land that lies north of the HS2 line for development; the proposals will significantly change the landscape between Burton Green, Coventry and Kenilworth over the next 25 years.

Key proposals include:
• Around 4,000 new homes on land known in the new Plan as COV1 / SG01
• Development adjoining the University of Warwick
• A new access road from the A429
• New primary schools, with potential relocation of the existing Burton Green Primary School
• Potential to connect COV1 via a future Very Light Rail extension
• Land safeguarded for a possible new railway station / transport hub
• A new 580-acre Woodland Park
• New walking and cycling routes
