On February 23, 2026, Warwick District Council launched a public consultation for residents in Kenilworth, Leamington Spa, and Finham to comment on a major housing plan at King’s Hill. This project aims to build up to 4,000 new homes, schools, and community facilities on a large site located between Kenilworth and Coventry.
The development is set to include a mix of housing types, with a portion dedicated to affordable housing, and is expected to be finished by 2050. Local people are being asked to share their views on specific design details such as building heights, street layouts, and how green spaces will be used within the site.
Proposed infrastructure for the area includes a new primary school, a secondary school, and 4,000 square metres of space for mixed uses like shops and businesses. The plan also features dedicated community and sports facilities to support the new residents moving into the area.
A developer, Lioncourt Strategic Land, previously received initial permission to build 2,500 of the homes on the site. The council cabinet approved these new design standards for public review on February 5, 2026, to help guide how the rest of the project is built over the coming years.
This consultation provides an opportunity for residents to influence the future look of the neighbourhood and understand how local traffic or services might be affected. The council is inviting everyone to submit their comments through the official council website before final decisions are made on the project appearance and layout.
