Construction Trends in Newport
Newport's Replacement Local Development Plan has identified nearly 4,000 potential new homes, with the largest site capable of accommodating up to 2,500 homes at Llanwern, plus further sites including 750 homes north of Langstone and 650 south of Bettws. This builds on the existing Glan Llyn development on the former Llanwern steelworks site, which already has outline permission for 4,000 homes with more than 1,000 completed and two new primary schools planned. A 24 million pound regeneration is also planned for Ringland, including more than 200 homes and a replacement shopping centre. Away from these large sites, established residential areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
