One aspect that I think you have omitted is anything to do with the fact that the crossing is regularly used by livestock. On this theme, you have said a warning time of 40s without any reasoning. Perhaps think about these two points together and consider what you might provide.

Ok, I haven't explained it well, but my thinking was that the MSL are good enough for people using the footpath, but the time taken to get livestock etc. across could exceed the 40s warning time, so the signaller should be contacted to ensure sufficient time between trains to get the livestock across.
