We are investing £1.45m to transform a derelict pub in St Julians with contractors P&P Builders. The pub fell victim to a fire, and is being demolished to make way for much-needed new homes. We started work last week, to clear the site ready for the new homes to go up.
The development will offer six two-bedroom flats, two two-bedroom houses and two three-bedroom houses, with 14 onsite parking spaces. The new homes will provide much needed affordable accommodation in the area and will be available to apply for on the common housing register in Spring 2020.
Rachel George, Head of Regeneration and Development at Newport City Homes said: “This development moves us closer to our aim of increasing the number of affordable homes helping to tackle the housing need in the city. We are looking forward to working with local contractor P&P Builders again, with support from Newport City Council and Welsh Government to deliver these new homes.”
Tim Crooks, Contracts Manager at P&P Builders said: “The 10 new properties will be built to Welsh Government design standards, with high levels of energy efficiency and have sprinkler systems to all properties. It will be our third contract with Newport City Homes and we are very much looking forward to working again in partnership with them and delivering these much needed high quality new homes.”
