7A. Vehicular entrance is permitted only along one fairly short strip of frontage, and the drawback you point out is therefore common to all schemes. TFC also, I agree, combines this with the main pedestrian access (but there is another emergency entrance/exit via the flats). With some design development, Security Dept is content.
