LOCATION
The site is accessed via Southam Road and lies within the popular semi-rural
village of Dunchurch. The village offers a range of local amenities, including a
nursery, primary and junior school, convenience shops, a pharmacy, public houses
and a selection of retail and dining establishments.
LOCATION
Dunchurch is located approximately three miles south of Rugby, where a
broader range of facilities can be found, including further education institutions,
supermarkets, leisure amenities and excellent transport connections via Rugby
railway station, as well as direct access to the M6 motorway.
The village also benefits from its proximity to the larger city of Coventry, situated
around 12 miles to the south-east, meaning that it is ideally located for commuters.
Please note that part of the site is located within the Dunchurch Conservation
Area.
DESCRIPTION
The site extends to approximately 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres) and is currently occupied
by two semi-detached red brick properties and their respective gardens. Planning
permission has been granted for their demolition and the redevelopment of
the site to provide five new residential dwellings, ranging from a smaller two
bedroom home to larger four-bedroom properties, each with their own garden
and associated parking provisions.
The layout has been carefully designed to ensure it complements the character
of the village. This includes positioning the smaller two-bedroom property along
the road frontage, with the larger dwellings set to the rear of the site for a more
balanced site.
Planning permission was granted on 24th December 2025 under application
reference R25/0297
