 After the completion of the scheme, land between the residential property boundaries and the noise reduction wall was given to the property owners for on a 'peppercorn' lease to allow them to incorporate it within their property curtilage.It was anticipated in the design of the road that there would be no frontage access to the new road along the entire length between the New Waltham roundabout and Victoria Street.A former farm access bridge known locally as Peaks Tunnel, which was also used as part of a public footpath, was reconstructed on the existing location.
