Ramped access and play area at 60 Brandon Parade, Royal Leamington Spa
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Warwick Planning Committee on 13 Jan 2026.
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
What was proposed
The retrospective application covered ramped access, children’s play equipment, hardstanding, boundary treatments and landscaping.
“The Committee considered a retrospective application from Early Years Studios for the installation of new ramped access, children's play equipment with associated hardstanding, boundary treatments within the site, and associated landscaping.”
Minutes
The recommendation
The recommendation was approval because the proposals were considered acceptable for heritage, conservation, neighbours, parking and access.
“The application was presented to Committee because of the number of objections received and the recommendation was for approval.”
“The officer was of the opinion that the proposals would not have a detrimental impact on the Listed Building and the surrounding Conservation Area. The proposals were also considered to be acceptable in terms of neighbour impact parking and access. The proposals were in accordance with the aforementioned policies, and it was therefore recommended that the application should be approved.”
Minutes
Objections and noise
The application was brought to committee because of the number of objections, and further clarification was provided about noise.
“PLANNING COMMITTEE MINUTES (Continued) 164 An addendum circulated prior to the meeting advised of further clarification around the impact of noise.”
Minutes
Committee consideration

“Following consideration of the report, presentation, and information contained in the addendum made at the meeting, it was proposed by Councillor B Gifford and seconded by Councillor Phillips that the application should be granted.”
