Hockley Heath marina meeting tomorrow

A PUBLIC meeting will be held tomorrow night over plans to build a marina at Hockley Heath.

The developers behind the scheme, for land adjoining Sands Farm, have been invited to the meeting at Lapworth Village Hall, Old Warwick Road at 7.30pm.

People will have the opportunity to give their comments and ask questions.

Lapworth Parish Council will then consider its view on the plan, which it will give to Warwick District Council, which makes the final decision.

It is one of three marina plans for the area with two others planned off the Warwick Road and Jacobean Lane in Knowle. Click here for more.

These are set to be decided by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council’s planning committee on December 9.

Letters mostly objecting to the Hockley Heath plan have been placed on WDC’s website.

Many are duplicate letters which state: “It is inappropriate for the Green Belt, it will dominate the rural landscape, it will be destructive to wildlife habitat and it will cause unnecessary congestion to the Stratford Canal.”
