Proposal
To develop the site for sheltered housing, comprising 84 units (78 flats in blocks of between 2 and 3 storeys in height and 6 bungalows) with associated community facilities, car parking and ancillary works, following the demolition of the existing monastery
There are 16 Carmelite Monasteries in England, 4 in Scotland and 1 in Wales. Almost 300 nuns live in these 21 Carmels. Their lives are dedicated to prayer in silence and solitude.

Not to be flippant, but does this mean that today there are fewer women taking vows of "silence and solitude"? ?Anon
