The planning committee officially rejected the application for 166 dwellings at the Carmel College site. This result secures the safety of our local access routes and preserves the Ridgeway from further obstruction. We will remain vigilant as the developers review their options for the property.

Carmel College Planning Objections
Don’t Delay… Act Today!
Planning Application has been submitted to develop an additional 166 dwellings in Mongewell
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

The volume of support has now reached a level that allows us to formally request an extension for the public consultation period. I am currently assembling a dossier of our core traffic concerns to deliver directly to the council planning office.

The roads around here are already a nightmare at 8am. 166 more homes is just madness.
Who thought using that private driveway for all these cars was a good idea?? Its dangerous.
Keep Mongewell as it is. We dont need more concrete everywhere.
Ridiculous proposal. Infrastructure cant cope with this volume of traffic. Need to stop this before it ruins the area completely.
450 percent increase in traffic is not sustainable. Someone at the council needs to get a grip and look at the real impact on residents.

Too many houses for one site. Really hope they listen to us for once.
