Carmel College Planning Objections

Don’t Delay… Act Today!

Planning Application has been submitted to develop an additional 166 dwellings in Mongewell

 Application Ref: P11/W2357

Main Concerns include:

• Volume – There will be 166 extra dwellings on the site, traffic alone will increase by at least 450%

• Access – The application has proposed to use the Private Drive as the main access. This is a single track lane with no pavements and few passing point.  It  will affect EVERYONE in the surrounding area as the A4074 will be overwhelmed

• Access – The Mongewell stretch of the A4074 is already dangerous, with 3 serious accidents and 1 fatality over the last year. The junctions of the B4009, Constitution Hill and the private drive are all within a few hundred yards of each other and cause confusion and congestion. Increasing the traffic load by 450% will turn the numerous near misses  in this area into more real accidents!

• Ridgeway – This section of the Ridgeway will be closed for 4 years! The traffic down Carmel Terrace will ruin this stretch of the Ridgeway when/if it re-opens

• Style – Some of the proposed structures are concrete and glass 4 storey flats… they are completely out of character for a rural development

• Flood Risk – the proposal is to raise the surface level within the development site. This could cause Carmel Terrace to become a run-off basin and significantly increase the risk of flooding
