Following community consultation during the autumn of 2025, Taylor Wimpey has now submitted an outline planning application for a new neighbourhood on the north-eastern edge of Hampton Magna, on land east of Old Budbrooke Road.

The outline vision for the new neighbourhood includes:

• Up to 360 high-quality homes in a range of sizes and styles
• Up to 50% of homes provided as affordable housing including shared ownership homes for first time buyers
• Scope to provide accessible homes for local people looking to downsize
• A significant proportion of the site area retained as extensive landscaped open space, including biodiversity areas
• A range of outdoor recreational facilities including children’s play areas
• A focus on sustainable travel, with a network of walking and cycling paths, as well as the potential for a direct active travel connection to Warwick Parkway railway station
• The active travel network being provided within the site includes a connection that could facilitate an onward pedestrian/cycle connection across the A46 utilising the existing farm bridge. However, any such onward link would involve land outside our control and will therefore be dependent on the future plans of those controlling land to the east, as well as the support of the council.
• Investment to support local infrastructure, such as healthcare and education

Update January 2026 – Outline planning application submitted

Following community consultation during the autumn of 2025, Taylor Wimpey has now submitted an outline planning application to Warwick District Council.

The outline plans include:

• Up to 360 energy-efficient new homes
• Up to 50% of the new homes will be affordable, including homes for social rent and shared ownership properties that would appeal to first time buyers
• Extensive new public open spaces, including play areas, community orchard/garden or potential allotments, and areas of biodiversity enhancement
• A network of new walking and cycling routes, including a potential new active travel link directly to the south side of Warwick Parkway railway station
• The active travel network being provided within the site includes a connection that could facilitate an onward pedestrian/cycle connection across the A46 utilising the existing farm bridge. However, any such onward link would involve land outside our control and will therefore be dependent on the future plans of those controlling land to the east, as well as the support of the council.

This website will be kept live as plans move forward through the process to provide information and a means for residents to get in touch with any queries. However, please note that information relating to the pre-application consultation has now been superseded by the submitted plans.

The outline planning application is the first formal step in the planning process, setting out broad overarching principles of development and will involve statutory consultation carried out by Warwick District Council with a wide range of organisations. If approved, a further planning application will then be required to establish the finer details of the proposed neighbourhood, including architecture, layout and landscaping.

The planning application documentation is available to view on Warwick District Council’s planning portal here the Council’s statutory consultation on the submitted plans can also be accessed (please quote reference W/25/1777).

Community consultation

We wanted to ensure that our emerging proposals align as much as possible with the priorities and aspirations of the local community in Hampton Magna and Budbrooke.

This website was created to provide an opportunity for local people to view and help shape the plans for the proposed development, and to provide feedback on local priorities and aspirations for new homes, open spaces and community investment.

Consultation drop-in exhibition

As well as the online consultation, we also presented our plans at a consultation drop-in exhibition. This provided an opportunity for members of the community, including those who have limited access to the internet, to view the proposals, speak to members of the project team and provide feedback.

The details of the consultation exhibition were as follows:

Date: Tuesday 30th September 2025
Venue: St Michael’s Centre, Church Lane, Budbrooke, CV35 8QL
Time: 3pm – 7pm

What is an outline planning application?

An outline planning application establishes the broad principles of development, such as access arrangements, illustrative concept layout, number of homes and general extent of development.

If outline planning consent is granted, a detailed planning application called a reserved matters planning application would be prepared. This would include more detail such as architecture, materials, detailed layout and landscaping, and would be subject to further consultation with the local community before being submitted for determination. Both outline and Reserved Matters planning applications are subject to statutory consultation carried out by the Local Planning Authority (Warwick District Council).
