Comment from saikabhi
Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
In this changeset, you have changed the layout of the roads, deleted a service road and the layout does not seem to match satellite imagery. Any particular reason for doing that? Do you have local knowledge of this area?Thanks

Yes, I live in the neighbouring estate. There was previously a large factory on this site but a new housing estate has been in development there for the past couple of years. This is nearing completion with just the roads to be tarmacked. Google maps shows more recent imagery: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Duffryn,+Newport/@51.5564959,-3.0264601,501m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4871e15792b463b3:0xe86dd486508814e2!8m2!3d51.5617097!4d-3.0203503

It's important to OSM for copyright reasons not to copy from Google maps. However the DigitalGlobe imagery is more recent than the Bing imagery at present in this area and shows some of the housing, and the OS Locator boxes can help with street names and alignments.

Yes, DigitalGlobe Standard Imagery has the updated layout for half the estate (will need to adjust the imagery offset to about -4.75, 4.25 though). http://product.itoworld.com/product/data/osm_analysis/map_browser?bbox=328639,184583,328868,184825&referrer=area shows road names missing
