Hospital District
The closure of the Corus Whiteheads facility provides a mixed use development including houses and major opportunities for the comprehensive redevelopment of the area.
The 40 hectare (100 acres) site is the subject of a masterplanning process to ensure the best use of the land and its use for residential development, hospital use and other mixed uses. Careful consideration will be given to environmental transportation and car parking issues through the masterplanning process.
A significant opportunity in the Central Area resides in the potential to rebuild and expand the Royal Gwent and St Woolos Hospitals. It is almost certain that a new and improved regional and local hospital facility will be needed in the next 10-15 years and this site could make a major contribution.
Other uses that are considered appropriate for the site include housing, community facilities and health related business development.
