Highways and transport issues state no access to this site is possible from Woodcote Lane.
SHLAA physical restraints state that access would have to be along Woodcote Drive.
Woodcote Drive is a poorly maintained private drive entered through ornate gates which are probably listed as part of the curtilage of Woodcote and stand in the Leek Wootton conservation area. They are 3.2 m wide. Not wide enough for two vehicles to pass.
Woodcote Drive narrows towards these gates to 4.2m and on average is less than 4.8m wide past the existing dwellings. There is not a footpath and to establish one would require removal of trees with TPO protection and decimation of the rhododendrons that form an important part of the entrance to the listed gardens of Woodcote (Police HQ).
The proposal to build 40 dwelling on the site would generate circa 240 vehicle movements a day, many at peak times. There is no certainty that the Warwickshire police will leave the site but even if they do any reduction of traffic would be minimal as planning consent is granted for a care home complex again with significant vehicle movements.
These additional vehicle movements will also have a impact on the very dangerous Anchor junction
