Redevelopment of Newport Centre site

This is notification of commencement of the Pre-Application Consultation Stage, in line with the statutory requirements of the Planning (Wales) Act 2015.  The date of commencement is 11th July 2022, and all responses must be received by 8th August 2022. 

What are the proposals:

Outline permission for the redevelopment of the site for circa 54,000 sqm of flexible floorspace for Educational use, or any other use within Use Classes A1, A2, A3, B1, C1, D1 and D2, with all matters reserved

The Newport Centre opened in 1985 and whilst currently in use, it is considered to have reached the end of its useful life and the swimming pool, closed at the beginning of the covid 19 pandemic, is now permanently closed. 

Following this consultation, an Outline planning application will be submitted for consideration by the Local Planning Authority.

At a later stage, the detailed design will be prepared and the most appropriate land use for the site will be selected. The Council is committed to working with neighbours and the local community to help us do this.

This Outline application follows the approval in November 2021 of the development of the new Newport Leisure Centre (ref. 21/0893), to be located in close proximity to the existing Newport Centre fronting the River Usk. The new Leisure Centre will be an iconic building, environmentally sustainable, meeting the highest possible standard for a leisure facility.

Dyma hysbysiad o gychwyn y Cyfnod Ymgynghori Cyn Ymgeisio, yn unol â gofynion statudol Deddf Cynllunio (Cymru) 2015. Y dyddiad cychwyn yw 11eg o Orffennaf 2022, a rhaid derbyn pob ymateb erbyn 8fed o Awst 2022. 

Beth yw’r cynigion? 

Caniatâd amlinellol i ailddatblygu’r safle ar gyfer oddeutu 54,000 metr sgwâr o arwynebedd llawr hyblyg ar gyfer defnydd Addysgol, neu unrhyw ddefnydd arall o fewn Dosbarthiadau Defnydd A1, A2, A3, B1, C1, D1 a D2, gyda’r holl faterion wedi’u cadw’n ôl.

Agorodd Canolfan Casnewydd yn 1985 ac er ei bod yn cael ei defnyddio ar hyn o bryd, ystyrir ei bod wedi cyrraedd diwedd ei hoes ddefnyddiol ac mae’r pwll nofio, a gaewyd ar ddechrau’r pandemig Covid 19, bellach wedi cau’n barhaol. 

Yn dilyn yr ymgynghoriad hwn, bydd cais cynllunio Amlinellol yn cael ei gyflwyno I’w ystyried gan yr Awdurdod Cynllunio Lleol

Yn dilyn hwn, bydd y dyluniad manwl yn cael ei baratoi a bydd y defnydd tir mwyaf priodol ar gyfer y safle yn cael ei ddewis. Mae’r Cyngor wedi ymrwymo i weithio gyda chymdogion a’r gymuned leol i’n helpu i wneud hyn. 

Mae’r cais amlinellol hwn yn dilyn caniatad cynllunio, ym mis Tachwedd 2021 (cyf. 21/0893), ar gyfer Canolfan Hamdden newydd Casnewydd. Bydd y Canolfan Hamdden newydd wedi’i lleoli’n agos at Ganolfan bresennol Casnewydd, yn wynebu’r Afon Wysg. Bydd y Ganolfan Hamdden newydd yn adeilad eiconig, yn gynaliadwy, ac yn cyrraedd y safon uchaf posibl ar gyfer cyfleuster hamdden.

Sut ydw i’n rhoi gwybod i chi beth rydw i’n ei feddwl?
