- The proposal results in the intensification in use of the constrained access to the side and rear of the site in close proximity to the A4 Bath Road and in conjunction with inadequate provision for pick up and drop off arrangements would lead to the obstruction of the carriageway and the potential for vehicular and or vehicular/pedestrian/cycle conflict all to the detriment of highway safety and convenience. The absence of suitable access arrangements in conjunction with the principal pedestrian entrance being located directly on to the A4 Bath Road frontage could lead to short term indiscriminate on-street parking in close proximity to a signal controlled junction and pedestrian crossing facilities leading to the obstruction to traffic on the principal highway network and the risk of vehicular/pedestrian and cycle conflicts. The proposals are therefore contrary to Policies T2 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004 and Core Policy 7 of the Core Strategy 2008 and the NPPF 2026.
