Site history and planning
Outline planning permission was granted in April 2010 for the regeneration of the former Llanwern steelworks site. Planning approval envisages around 1.5m square feet of employment space alongside approximately 4,000 new homes, a local centre and two new primary schools.
Works to-date include undertaking all site preparation to include demolition of the former steelworks, ground remediation / reclamation works reflecting the former heavy industry background and infrastructure including a new 24 MVA primary substation and sustainable drainage in open waterways within a landscaped environment.
Over 700,000 sq ft developed to-date across 11 units. Ongoing delivery of both Speculative and Build to Suit buildings to meet demand from businesses who have been restricted by a chronic undersupply of new high quality space across the region.
