Absence of safe path from affordable housing through open market site

This is a letter sent to the National Park by a local resident, who has persisted to get a pedestrian path, from the affordable rented housing at Maes y Mynydd through the housing site Church Fields to Goat Street, which members of the DMC made a condition of the planning permission, but it has not been done and the site is now occupied and fenced off from the market housing.  Absence of safe footpath

28th October 2020

The issue of the absent path has now been taken up by Newport Area Environment Group (NAEG) https://naeg.org.uk. The latest news is that the discussion is still ongoing between the planning authority and the developer as to the provision of this path. We will keep you posted.

Lle Bryony, the Old Pottery site

Old Pottery development
Lle Bryony, the Old Pottery site

Further development is now being carried out on the old pottery site next door to Yard y Parrog. The lovely old pottery building becoming hidden amongst a further 3 luxury properties, albeit it is all crammed on to a small site. The price of the 3 bedroom properties on Lle Bryony are from £425,000 up to £465,00. The owner was exempt from providing an affordable element on the site, because a small amount of land was given to an adjoining site enabling an increase in the number of affordable to rent units on that site.  The overall appearance of both the sites is of a development that one would see in a city not in the National Park.

Nearing completion the houses on the Old Pottery Site adjoined by one of the affordable houses on the neighbouring site on the top of Parrog Road. The over development of the plot has produced an untidy, incohesive development
The old Pottery building flanked by a new unit diminishing the character of the original building
Development completed with two properties already sold. Another character building disappears, in this case engulfed by a a development that is totally out of character with its surroundings and not in the vernacular for Newport.

3 of the 4 properties for sale have sold on completion.

Old Pony Paddock Parrog Road

This is development of 2 open market houses and 2 affordable houses, being developed on a very small site.

Old Pony Paddock – the two open market houses

These are the open market housing on this site. They are 3 storey houses not in keeping with the vernacular and again obliterating Carningli. Yet another development on Parrog Road that has robbed Newport of an iconic view, this time from the coastal path and walking up from Parrog.

The two four bedroom open market properties near to completion with an asking price of £575,000 and £599,000
Sea and estuary views from the bath and view of bather from the coastal path. A first for Newport!
Both properties sold on completion.
