The employment mix is manufacturing-led, so the plausible barrier is a private yard or staff car park gate, not a boom on the public road. Detached houses lead the housing mix, so communal booms are less common than on flatted estates.

We do not invent a podium that the census says is not the main housing form. Counts are rounded to the nearest 5 and very small cells may have been suppressed by ONS.

A barrier survey is on application and only for a private lane. This readout does not invent a business park.
