Developing Newport’s new retail park, an Isle of Wight special interest group

Overview

In this meeting we’ll be viewing site progress to deliver the new retail park in Newport followed by a presentation finding out about the design considerations which went into developing the scheme.

This new retail park is built on the recently demolished Newport Town football ground (St George’s Park) which has since commenced relocation to the Racecourse, Whippingham. St George’s Park was built in the 1980’s on grazing land in proximity to Lower Shide Mill, one of many mills which defined Newport’s history through the 1800’s.
