A gardening products company has won planning permission for a new development in eastern Newport.
Westland Horticulture Ltd will use the ten-hectare site in Llanwern to store and distribute products from pallets.
According to planning documents, the finished depot could create ten jobs.
The city council’s planning committee met on Wednesday June 4 to discuss the application, for a site which case officer Geraint Roberts described as a “level blank canvas”.
The committee heard how the site was previously used as a tip for waste slag from steel production.
Mr Roberts told the committee the proposed development would have “no harmful impact on the special landscape area” of the Gwent Levels, which is nearby.
Planning permission was granted, subject to several conditions including limits on the height of the development and landscaping requirements.
