Willoughby Parish Council

Welcome to Willoughby

Welcome to the Willoughby Parish Council website.

Willoughby is a small rural parish to the south-east of Rugby located between Dunchurch and Daventry in the Leam Valley. The A45 runs through the middle of the parish with the Oxford Canal running roughly parallel a little further east. The nearby villages of Dunchurch, Barby and Braunston offer a range of facilities and are only a five minute drive away. We also have good access to Rugby and Daventry and the M45 motorway.

Please explore our website to find out more about our parish, the thriving social scene you will find here and the work done by the Parish Council.

Rugby Borough Council Local Plan - Update (2)

The Consultation paper for the new Regulation 19 version of the Local Plan was uploaded on Friday, 19 December to the RBC website, together with the agenda, for the RBC Cabinet Meeting, on Friday 6 January 2026. Lodge Farm has not been allocated in the new version of the Plan. This is really great news for the thousands of people who campaigned against it as being a ‘reasonable alternative scenario’.

If you click on the link at the bottom of this news item (click Read More), it will take you to the Consultation paper - all 469 pages of it! Information about why Lodge Farm has not been allocated (it is now an omission site) is on pages 181 - 183, so an easy read. There is also more detailed information in Appendix 12 pages 453 - 467 which brings together most of the points made by campaigners during the consultation.
