Newport Schemes - Underway
Glan Llyn – this major regeneration project is transforming the former 600 acre Newport Llanwern Steelworks site into a major new community and business park - Celtic Business Park. 4,000 new homes have outline planning permission and over 1000 have already been completed. The first primary school has been completed and a second primary school will be delivered with the later stages of the development. The site will also benefit from a railway station in near future. A number of employment units have also been constructed on the business park, including global giant Amazon. There remains significant capacity for further investment for both residential and commercial developments.
