The Local Plan could see the building of 12,400 homes, also allocating 110 hectares of employment land and more than 8,000 square metres of retail space.
After a previous consultation an independent government inspector wrote to Rugby Borough Council to list 183 modifications which would be required to make the plan ‘legal and sound’.

Hide AdIn August the council voted to adopt the changes to the plan.
And now the modifications are undergoing an eight-week public consultation, which ends on Friday, October 5.
The modifications include the removal of the Lodge Farm, Brinklow and Coton House allocations of housing, with additional housing on the proposed allocations at Long Lawford and Binley Woods to compensate.
The changes would also see additional protection given to the Brandon Stadium site, and land be set aside for two years in case it is needed for a possible secondary school at Coton Park East.
