How schemes in Warwick 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 Warwick
A historic county town with two stations including Warwick Parkway, and the A46 and M40 junction 15 on its edge. 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 A46 and A429, with M40 junction 15. 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 A46 and M40, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Warwick?
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 A46 and M40.
Do you cover the area around Warwick?
Yes, including Royal Leamington Spa, 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 A46 and M40 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
