One of Worcester’s biggest employers will be building a new security gatehouse at its factory in Warndon.

Worcester Bosch employs about 1,300 people at its 5.1 hectare site off Ebrington Drive.

City council planning officers had no issues with the company’s proposals for a single storey gatehouse and highways officers said the plans raised no concerns.

Access to the site will continue to be from Ebrington Drive but the proposals do include a new pedestrian crossing point with dropped kerbs and white lines, as well as the installation of two automated barriers.
