Plans for a new bedsit in Beechwood have been approved by Newport City Council, despite concerns.
The house, at 14 St Johns Road, is believed to have been operating as a house of multiple occupation (HMO) between 2015 and 2020 with a licence, but without planning permission.
Concerns were also raised by residents and ward councillors about the application due to the amount of HMOs in the area.
