Cafe on the way, despite traffic fears

The planning report stated that “the proposal aims to predominantly serve through trade from the M40 corridor” but argued that “it would be difficult to argue that there are other town centers or sequential preferential sites available to accommodate such a use “.

There was no objection from Warwickshire County Council’s highways department, although clear markings must be included to prevent those returning from the site blocking the route to Warwick.

Councillors, including John Holland, Labor county councilor for Warwick West, have raised concerns about the proposals causing an increase in traffic in an already congested area.

Ultimately the committee decided they could not object and the plans were agreed.
