Case Study - Newport, South Wales

Children’s Centre

SMA assisted with the planning application for a new Children’s Centre in Highcross, Gwent, on behalf of developer, R E Phillips and Partners. SMA provided professional inputs to the planning application, including transport assessments, transport modelling and design of the access and enabling infrastructure. Director and Chairman, Stuart Atkinson, also acted as Expert Witness at a successful Planning Appeal for the scheme.

The Children’s Centre will be officially opened by HRH Princess Anne in March/April 2011 and will be operated by the Aneurin Bevin Local Health Board. The Centre will provide an ‘under-one-roof’ unit for more than 1,200 disabled youngsters in Newport, Torfaen and South Monmouthshire.
