A DERELICT former workshop could be demolished to make way for five new houses in the centre of Abersychan. 

Plans have been submitted to Torfaen Borough Council to demolish the former Artisan Precision Engineering buildings on Snatchwood Road and build a terrace of five two-bedroom cottages. 

Parking would be at the back of the homes, which will all have back gardens, and accessed from the lane that runs from Broad Street behind the site.
