Construction Trends in Monmouthshire
Monmouthshire's Replacement Local Development Plan is now going through independent examination, with hearings beginning in September 2026. The plan proposes up to 2,000 new homes through to 2033, with a total figure including existing approvals of 5,400 homes, around half intended to be affordable. Key sites include a large allocation at Caldicot and Portskewett, while an east-of-station site in Abergavenny has drawn local objections. The council has previously approved 96 affordable homes, including 50 at Tudor Road in Wyesham. Away from these strategic sites, established market towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.

Demand for Building Work in Monmouthshire
Caldicot and Portskewett are set to become Monmouthshire's dominant new-build story over the coming years, once the Replacement Local Development Plan is adopted.
