The new field entrance Planning regulations no longer permit direct access from fields onto a public highway. New accesses such as this one opposite The Nelson Inn - constructed in 2011 - must provide a holding area off the highway for vehicles to stand while gates are opened or shut. The requirement applies irrespective of the cost involved, the loss of productive land or the volume of traffic on the highway: in this instance minimal.
