North Warwickshire includes Atherstone, Coleshill, and Polesworth. About 60.7% of the district is Green Belt, shaping settlement patterns and rural protection. Known for historic towns, industrial heritage, and villages, planning balances residential and commercial development with countryside conservation. We can advise and support projects throughout North Warwickshire.
In the last year North Warwickshire decided 375 applications which is well below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 93% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 48% of applications were decided on time, (significantly below the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how North Warwickshire performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
