Space management & safety (regardless of council status)
Broaden visibility splay

The only village access without road-markings
Gate adjustments
Eliminate the spatial requirements of the traditional swing gate
Remove the current outward opening gate

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
