🚧 **Big Debate Over New Housing Plans in Montgomery!**
A plan to build 54 new homes in Montgomery, Powys, has sparked a lively debate about traffic, views, and local infrastructure. Powis Estates aims to develop a mix of homes on Forden Road, but the proposal isn’t sitting well with everyone. 🏡
The town council has formally opposed the development, raising red flags about increased traffic, insufficient parking, and pressure on schools and GP services. They’re concerned these issues may worsen with the addition of more homes and, critically, affect the stunning views from the historic Montgomery Castle. 🏰
Cllr Jeremy Brignell-Thorp is championing this cause, urging the council to reconsider unless certain infrastructures, like a vital new link road, are included in the plans to ease congestion. 🚗💨
Despite the strong opposition, Oliver O’Neill from Hughes Architects assures the project respects the town’s character and won’t significantly impact traffic. Are the new homes a risk to the charm of Montgomery, or a much-needed development for the future?
