Hoping for advice about housing. We are moving to a cheaper area as expecting my person to lose their job so want something I can afford on my own. He's not allowed to live with us due to bail conditions but hopefully will at some point

I've seen a house I love but he has reservations as it's down a cul de sac off a road with a primary school, so basically you turn into a road and the schools is at the end and visible, but before you get to it you turn off and the house is down that road, so no longer visible to or from the school. However it's 0.15 miles away/ish

In addition the back bedrooms overlook fields which contain a play park and sports pitch. With shrubs and trees I think you could block it (it's partially blocked already)

Person reckons the PO could stop him moving into the property for those reasons

He's not been charged yet but we know they found a handful of cat a and b images of 16 year old off the dark web on one of his devices

We live right next to a school was previously before everything though and nobody as ever mentioned it as a problem. I'm not sure if it's because it was an online offence as I'm guessing if it was contact that would also be taken into account on the location

Thanks for your replies, so:

We have a toddler who would then attend that school in a few years, yes. The school is not visible at all from the house but the village playing fields and play area are visible from the two smaller bedrooms at the back of the property. My understanding is the school children would use that field sometimes for PE etc.

It would be owned and yes we are pre charges, it's with CPS.

Bail conditions are no overnights and no unsupervised contact

Alleged offences are online only and from 4 and a half years ago, but he wasn't arrested til about 6 months ago
