Photographic notes
When the sun is out, the Southbound shot is preferred from about 13:00 onwards, although the Northbound shot is OK once the sun goes over. Of course if it's cloudy then any angle is doable.
As for video's, the noise disruption from the estate is minimal as there's mainly offices and a Cash & Carry - which is set back - in the immediate area.
