Nova Place

Green space is woven throughout Nova Place. In total, almost 14,892m² of public open space sits across the development, including a 900m² informal kickabout area and a 390m² inclusive play space.

The play area features a roundabout, balance course, multi play equipment, seesaw, swings and interactive panels, designed so children of different ages can play side by side. Lit footpaths lead directly to these spaces, making them part of daily routines rather than somewhere you have to drive to.

Landscaping is planned from the outset. 286 new trees will be planted alongside 7,201 hedge whips, 1,313 shrubs and 835 herbaceous plants. Existing trees around the play areas help the space feel established, while a hedgehog highway running through the site allows wildlife to move safely between gardens.

It’s green space built in from the beginning, not added later.

Nova Place has been planned as a walkable neighbourhood from the start. Around 2,775 metres of footpaths will run through the development, linking homes to green space, the play area and the shops to the east of the site.

A new four arm roundabout at the entrance will help traffic flow more smoothly, while a signalled toucan crossing across the A518 will create a safer way to cross for people on foot or by bike, with access to the public right of way to the south.

With Newport High Street less than a mile away and the Retail Park within walking distance, it’s easy to step out and get what you need without relying on the car.

It’s built so moving around feels straightforward from the start.

Nova Place sits within easy reach of well regarded local schools, helping keep the school run straightforward as children grow.

Moorfield Primary School, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, is just 0.3 miles away, a short walk or four minute drive from home. Newport CE Junior School also holds a Good rating, with several other primary options available across the town.

For secondary education, Haberdashers’ Adams School for ages 11 and over is less than a 10 minute drive away and rated Good with Outstanding features. Newport also offers additional secondary and selective schools locally, giving families flexibility as children move into their teenage years.

Further education is available at Telford College, accessible by car or public transport, offering A levels, vocational courses and apprenticeships.

With education options from early years through to further education nearby, Nova Place supports family life now and as children grow.
