Reinstating road entrance for use as primary access 

Q: Is use of this old access prohibited?

What standards apply to Road Planning department??

Q. The location of speed signs after the Frowlesworth Road access

Q. Are the rules for residential road accesses different to agricultural accesses? Which is this classified as?

Q What is the wisdom, if any, in placing a 30mph beyond the same-side access on entry to Ashby Parva? Ditto 70mph sign immediately before the access on exit from village?

Space management & safety (regardless of council status)

  • Broaden visibility splay

  • Extend verge-space

  • Safer pulling-in zone

  • Deepen set-back distance

  • Level out gradient

The only village access without road-markings

Gate adjustments

Eliminate the spatial requirements of the traditional swing gate

  • Remove the current outward opening gate

  • Replace with bi-fold or sliding gate 

  • Change the gate-swing inward (or sideward)

  • Install Automated system for roadside brevity

Enhance sightline & visibility by deepening the set-back distance and broadening access to Paull’s Farm from Frowlesworth Road

For a wider visibility splay - create space cutting in from the barn-side of the recess

Proposal to widen pull-in at Lievres Orchard

Broaden set-back

Expand opposite verge-side to increase passing space

Lievres Orchard & Paull’s Farm, were each part of the former Goodacre Home Farm before division by JDG

An historic cross-path between parts of the land separated by road

Lievres Orchard verge-side set-back already acts as passing space for vehicles exiting Ashby Parva

Expand the set-back distance at the access to Lievres Orchard referring to historic routing

Verge space deepening for increased vehicular passing navigating against oncoming hazards from Frowlesworth village

Paull’s Farm access (opposite Lievres Orchard at
Frowlesworth Road)

Informal passing zone by Lievres Orchard  (opposite Paull’s Farm at Frowlesworth Road)

These two opposing accesses correspond to a connecting pattern of asymmetry across Frowlesworth Road

Proximity formed historically in relation to paths laid out between working-parts of former farmland
