I'm sure they may well be other concerns affecting the choice of circuit direction .... but if there really is only one village in the ATZ, why doesn't the airfield operator simply choose to fly circuits to the other side of the airfield? And if the circuit direction is fixed because of other factors I'd advocate flying the circuit inside the village if at all possible, not outside ..... but then my flying training heritage is military, so I tend to get jumpy if the runway's not under my wing when I'm downwind! Just my thoughts.
