What happened

Newport City Council refused a planning application from Dragon Padel Rogerstone Ltd to convert a vacant warehouse into a leisure facility. The council cited concerns regarding the location, highway safety, and the plan's conflict with the "Town Centre First" approach. The application failed to show that suitable sites within Newport City Centre had been thoroughly assessed and discounted.
