Warwick District Council has been aware of the need to produce a design guide for those involved in residential development. The purpose of this document is to provide a design framework for all who are involved in the provision of residential accommodation within Warwick District. It seeks to promote high quality and innovative design for the housing of the 21st Century.
Warwick District Council is made up of 4 principal towns Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth and Whitnash with a rural area surrounding it of about 20 villages. The urban areas of the District are centred rounfd particularly attractive towns all with historic cores protected by conservation area status. Each town has its own distinctive character which over the years has made all 4 towns attractive residential areas within the Heartland of England. it is important that these distinctive qualirites are maintained and enhanced in all developments.
This document has been compiled following many stages of public consultation, taking account of the views of design professionals, users of the guide, amenity societies, Planning Committee Members, Planning Officers and local people who wish to see good design in Warwick District. The Guide seeks to combine the aspirations of these user groups for good design in the District.
