It will deliver:
Comprehensive, high quality and lasting change
A range of new homes, employment opportunities with the potential to create up to 6,000 new jobs, community facilities and substantial areas of open space in a highly sustainable location
Highly sustainable location with excellent transport links to the City Centre and surrounding area
One of the most significant brownfield regeneration opportunities not only for Wales but the whole of the UK
One of the largest contributions to Newport?s improved growth strategy
The Proposals
St Modwen?s proposals are for a mixed use, housing led urban extension for Newport that will contribute to the improvement of Newport?s ?front door? and the City?s fortunes, image and prospects.
The key elements of the proposals are as follows:
