Development of the Loes Farm site for housing would cause a lot of disruption to the local neighbourhood for the provision of relatively few dwellings. The parcel of land is too small to be developed as a full community but its location prevents it from becoming part of the existing Woodloes estate. The site is bounded by the A46, the Coventry Road and Woodloes Lane - the A46 is a busy, noisy dual carriageway, the Coventry Road is a very busy route in and out of Warwick especially at morning and evening rush hours, and Woodloes Lane forms a natural boundary along the entire NE outskirts of the existing Woodloes estate. So inevitably any development on this site would create an isolated community, in no way a mere extension to the existing estate, due to the location, and too small to demand facilities of its own like shops, schools, doctors etc.
The site would need significant costly noise defences alongside the A46. Roads in the Coventry Road area in particular would need significant improvement to take the additional traffic and prevent danger points. More importantly, it would be a tragedy if Woodloes Lane itself were developed into an access road or became part of the new development, not only for the properties in the lane and those backing on to the lane, but also for the inevitable destruction of trees and hedgerows, which are a haven for birds and other wildlife. The lane creates a natural boundary containing the urban area of Warwick and should be protected at all cost.
