Planning committee

Decided by Newport Planning Committee on 5 Aug 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because regeneration benefits and conditions outweighed the identified flood-policy failure.
  • Consultees raised flood, contamination and ecological concerns, while no neighbour representations were received.
  • The committee granted permission with conditions, subject to a section 106 agreement and delegated authority to refuse if unsigned.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
