Regent Court is designated as a 'Restaurant and Café Quarter' on the Warwick Local Plan Proposals Map.
We note that not all units in Regent Court appear to be included in this designation. The success of café and restaurant units will in part be supported by achieving a critical mass, and the wider environment / public realm provided by the entirety of the Centre. Therefore in order for the policy to be effective, it is necessary
for all units to be included as indicated on the map attached - (see original submission / rep). This line clearly outlines where policy TC9 should be applied.
Whilst the Council supports restaurant and café uses at Regent Court, the supporting text for Policy TC9 imposes restrictions. It is important to emphasise that significant weight needs to be given to the location of Regent Court in the town centre. Restaurants and cafes are appropriate 'town centre uses' and therefore appropriate in the town centre. The planning policy related to planning applications for new restaurants and cafes should therefore
equally and specifically recognise the benefits of the investment in individual units within a new restaurant
quarter will bring to Leamington Spa. This includes support for the associated operational works required for the restaurant and café quarter e.g. hours of operation and external seating applications. In order for the policy to be effective, we propose that the Policy TC9 is amended.

The establishment of a Restaurant and Café quarter at Livery Street has taken place
without any prior consultation with the Town Council on the principle of change of
use of this area. The Council would wish to be consulted on the formation of such
policies at an earlier stage in future.
