This site has ecologicaly value as outlined by the 2008 Habitat Biodiversity Audit survey report that also states that this site is unfavourable for development.

The site would affect the ancient trees and hedgerow as well as destroy pasture used by Foxes, Yellow Meadow Ants, Green Woodpecker, Rabbits, Buzzards and Rooks and other wildlife.

The site is also a remnant of the old Guys Cliffe estate and as such has interesting archaeology including in places evidence of ridge and furrow farming.

From an social point of view, the site would border the Centenary Way footpath and would separate people from the Woodloes even more from Green Open Spaces.

180 houses would put pressure on the road infrastructure and in one report in the evidence base seemed to suggest that the local school could not support the new children.

In terms of Aesthetics this approach to Warwick is one of the few that still show that the town is a rural county town, although how much longer that can be said is open to question.
