Call for Urban Sites

Deadline Friday 18 July

Consultants Troy Planning + Design have been commissioned by Rugby Borough Council to prepare an Urban Capacity Study (UCS).

The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for the urban area of Rugby town to accommodate new housing development by reusing previously developed land and making better use of existing land and buildings. The work will help inform emerging policy decisions in the new Local Plan. It will supplement the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) and may reconsider sites submitted through that process but not considered suitable for development within it.

To support this study, and ensure that opportunities for development within the urban area have been thoroughly explored, we are now making a Call for Urban Sites.

Responses should identify and suggest any land and buildings which you consider to have the potential for residential development within the existing built up area of Rugby town, as shown in the image below (and in greater detail in this map). Sites outside of this area will not be considered as part of this process.

Should you wish to make a comment or submit a site for consideration, please complete the proforma and return it to info@troyplanning.com by no later than Friday 18 July 2025.

This invitation is made without prejudice to the objectives of either party: at this stage it is not possible to foresee the outcome of the study or the emerging Local Plan, nor does it prejudice any decision the council may wish to take should an application for any site be forthcoming.
