Planning approval secured for Newport housing scheme

Planning permission has been secured for 21 new family homes on a site at Traston Lane, Newport. Nash Partnership secured the approval for housebuilder Hawkfield Homes.The development will include 11 detached four-bed homes and ten detached and semi-detached three-bed homes with garages, driveways, gardens and ancillary space. The site is bounded by Newport Arena to the north and west and by residential roads to the south and east. It sits within a residential and commercial area, and access to the site will be via the existing Traston Road. Planning consent to develop the site for residential use was previously granted in 2005 but the scheme remained unbuilt. Hawkfield Homes purchased the site and appointed trusted partner Nash Partnership to bring forward updated and revised proposals for it. These proposals drew upon the principles of the historic consented scheme while bringing forward an evolved concept and updated house types.Work at the Newport site is anticipated to start in May 2022 for the duration of some 15 months.
