| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The existing access to the application site directly impinges on an existing pedestrian crossing and is located on the corner of Green Lane, adjacent to the junction with Astwood Road (B4550) which is a locally important, classified route, and there is a significant level of vehicular and pedestrian movement in this area, particularly associated with local schools. The proposed change of use of the property to a Class C4 House in Multiple Occupation, would result in a different pattern of vehicular movements to and from the property utilising the existing constrained access. These movements would exacerbate the existing harm resulting in an unacceptable impact on highway safety to all road users, particularly vulnerable pedestrians. As such a safe and suitable access has not been demonstrated can achieved for the proposed use and as such the development would be contrary to paragraphs 115 and 116 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy and the criteria set out in the Housing in Multiple Occupation SPD. |
