Views of the A1(T) are limited tooccasional breaks in property boundaries and there is a good degree of visualseparation. Properties to the north of the High Street have land boundaries with theA1(T) and their rear aspect views are heavily influenced by the existing road corridorsetting.Properties on Pepperly Rise to the western edge of Elkesley Village have a broadfield of view across the proposed junction area. The Rise is elevated from CoalpitLane, enabling widespread aspects across the opposing field hedge line. Propertiessituated on Headland Avenue (at 90 degrees orientation to Pepperly Rise/CoalpitLane) have oblique and increasingly limited views of the junction area, restricted to anarrow field of view and largely screened by the properties on Coalpit Lane.Properties to the western edge of the High street (Blacksmith Cottage opposite theexisting A1(T) junction and Holly Cottage on the corner of the existing junction) wouldhave direct views. There would be oblique, restricted views experienced from otherproperties to the western end of the High Street sited near the existing junction.Lawnwood Lane (an extension of Headland Avenue) rises to the south of the village.Most properties along the lane are single storey with limited oblique views from rear49
