An in-person update on plans to transform the car park in Talisman Shopping Centre in Kenilworth into residential flats and shops will be held at the end of the month.
Cobalt Estates, in association with Discovery Properties, will showcase the plans to the public at the former Thomas Cook and Hays Travel unit on Tuesday May 31.
The plans are an evolution of a previous scheme to build student accommodation and retail units on the old car park, which was given planning permission by Warwick District Council in 2016.
The current plans are no longer for student accommodation, but for 44 residential apartments across four storeys instead. There will also be two retail units at ground level, rather than five in the previous plans.
Hugo Hawkings, chief executive of Discovery Properties, said: “We are pleased to be in a position to update the public on these plans.
“We have wanted to develop the car park and bring new living and retail opportunities to Kenilworth for a while, and although permission was secured for the student development in 2016, the commercial landscape changed quickly and it was felt a new scheme was needed.
“We are looking forward to showing the public the new plans, and we will use the feedback to help us submit a full planning application to Warwick District Council.”
Anyone wishing to find out more should visit Talisman Shopping Centre between 11.00 am and 6.00 pm on Tuesday May 31.
