Public asked for views on a draft masterplan and design code for the King’s Hill housing allocation
Members of the public are invited to share their views on a draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) outlining the masterplan and design code for the proposed King’s Hill development, located between Kenilworth and Coventry.
The site, allocated in the adopted Warwick District Local Plan, is expected to deliver up to 4,000 new homes and supporting infrastructure by 2050.
The King’s Hill Masterplan and Design Code SPD builds on principles established through approved planning applications and sets out a clear vision for the emerging new neighbourhoods. It aims to secure high-quality architecture and landscape design across the entire site, alongside the coordinated delivery of essential infrastructure including schools, transport links, healthcare provision and community facilities.
Warwick District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Place, Councillor Chris King commented: “Kings Hill is a large and strategically significant site, and this SPD sets out clear guidance to ensure the creation of a well-planned, sustainable community supported by the necessary infrastructure. I encourage all interested parties to review the document and contribute to shaping the future development of this
area.”
The draft Kings Hill Masterplan and Design Code SPD is now subject to public consultation ending on 27 March 2026.
A printed copy is available for inspection during normal opening hours at the following locations.
• Finham Community Library

Government consultation on Local Government Reorganisation in Warwickshire launches and will run for seven weeks.
The government has launched a consultation to invite residents, businesses, and key stakeholders, to have their say as part of the consultation on what Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) should look like in Warwickshire.
Currently, Warwickshire has two-tiers of local government, Warwickshire County Council as one tier and five District and Borough Councils - North Warwickshire Borough, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough, Rugby Borough, Stratford and Warwick District Councils as the second tier.
Local government reorganisation (LGR) is planned for Warwickshire because central government has set out a national policy to reorganise the current two-tier system of local government in England to one tier, and Warwickshire is one of the areas affected by that policy.
In line with the Local Authority Publicity Code, the councils are not promoting or advocating for any option within the consultation. The consultation is being led by Government, which is seeking views on the options that have been put forward.
The Government is only consulting on whether residents would prefer one unitary council for Warwickshire, or separate north and south unitary councils.
