Local knowledge

How schemes in Royal Leamington Spa get decided.

Two councils involved

Warwick District Council decides the planning application, but Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.

What shapes schemes in Royal Leamington Spa

A Regency spa town on the Chiltern and Coventry lines, with tight central streets and large growth to the south. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.

Roads, rail and buses

The main roads are the A452, A425 and A445. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the M40, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Who is the highway authority in Royal Leamington Spa?

Warwickshire County Council, for local roads. Warwick District Council decides the planning application and consults Warwickshire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the M40.

Do you cover the area around Royal Leamington Spa?

Yes, including Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and Henley-in-Arden, and the villages and rural sites in between.

Will National Highways need to be involved?

Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the M40 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
