A new housing development is planned for the site of a former Lidl supermarket on Woodside Road in Cwmbran. The project, a collaboration between Monmouthshire Housing Association and Hale Group, intends to build 29 homes.

Torfaen County Borough Council has approved a construction environmental management plan (CEMP) to address air quality, traffic, and the protection of local trees and hedgerows. Demolition and construction were estimated to begin within six to eight weeks of August, with a projected build program of approximately 78 weeks.
