Plans for 59 new houses in Lancaster could get the go-ahead despite public concerns over a nearby "dangerous road".
The planned new development in green fields off Ashton Road in Lancaster is due to go before Lancaster City Council planning committee for a final decision.
Council planners have recommended the scheme for approval.
But there have been 16 objections from the public.
A council planning report says the objections state that "the A588/Ashton Road is very dangerous with multiple accidents including fatalities".
The Dynamo Cycle Campaign also opposed the plans, saying "no measures are proposed to improve cycling or walking facilities in the area which increases dangers to cyclists and pedestrians in conjunction with other nearby developments" and Lancaster Civic Society said the development would "Increase traffic on already dangerous road with no footpath in parts".
County Highways have not objected to the scheme, as long a funding contribution of £792,311 is secured "towards delivery of the wider highway/transport infrastructure".
They said: "Accident records follow no pattern and are not of a nature that will be worsened by the development."
Lancaster Civic Society also said the scheme "should be better quality and with a more imaginative and spacious layout than this, especially on a sloping site".
But the council planning report said: "The layout is heavily constrained by the steep topography of the site and while it could be improved, this would likely reduce the number of units and viability even further.
"At a time when the council cannot demonstrate an adequate supply of housing, refusal on this basis is not justified.
"On the whole, the development is acceptable in terms of appearance of the dwellings and wider landscape impact."
They have recommended planning permission should be granted subject to certain conditions, including that developers agree to pay £138,370.50 for provision of six secondary school places at Lancaster Royal Grammar and/or Central Lancaster High schools, and £95,092.20 towards changing facilities at Royal Albert playing fields for outdoor sports.
The proposed scheme would be located next to Oakmere Homes' Pathfinders Drive development.
Sixty-four new homes were originally planned, but the applicant WVC Lancaster Ltd has now reduced this to 59 new two-storey houses.
The plans will be discussed at a meeting at Morecambe Town Hall on February 28 at 10.30am. This is open to the public.
