L&Q Estates green light for 73 new Coventry homes
Warwick-based property developer L&Q Estates has been given the go-ahead to build 73 new homes and employment space on its Wilsons Lane development on the outskirts of Coventry.
The firm's initial submission for the plans was only partially accepted, with smaller section of the wider scheme being rejected by Coventry City Council’s planning committee members last October.
Following an appeal and a series of inspections, a planning inspector has now given the go ahead for the scheme after they concluded that the proposed development would not unacceptably harm the living conditions and amenity of nearby residents.
The scheme will comprise a mix of both market and affordable properties and up to 55,750 sq metres of employment space, together with the creation of a play area, footpaths, cycle routes and landscaping.

The majority of the site, which falls within the Nuneaton and Bedworth boundary, received planning permission from Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council last March.
Adrian Clack, Managing Director at L&Q Estates, said: “We are pleased to have received outline planning permission for this site off Wilsons Lane which will provide much-needed new housing and employment in the area,” he said.
“During the consultation, we reduced the eaves heights of the buildings in the two employment areas and relocated the access.
“The site is perfectly situated for businesses involved in the logistics sector due to its proximity to the M6, which will help in turn to provide valuable employment opportunities and economic growth.”
