Maindee shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Maindee-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Maindee alone.

Newport City Council, the local planning authority covering Maindee, approved 49 residential planning applications and refused 38 in the last 12 months, with 20 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 56%.

Those applications propose around 384 homes, an estimated £82.9m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Newport City Council covers more than one town in Newport, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Maindee alone.
