Planning permission has been granted for a five-storey apartment block with 20 apartments in Newbridge.

The site is at the back of the Whitewater Shopping Centre.
The five- storey building will comprise 12 one-bed units and eight two-bed units.
The plans also include private open spaces in the form of balconies and patios, 150sq.m. communal open space roof terrace, six roof mounted solar PV panels: eight part-podium car parking spaces; bicycle and bin stores with 30 resident cycle spaces and 12 visitor cycle spaces.
There will be a new vehicular access from Cutlery Road.
