Oakfield was designated as one of the seven residential areas in the 1951 Master Plan for Cwmbran New Town with a designated area of 156 acres. Lying on the south side of Cwmbran, it sat within the angle of the eastern Valleys and Cwmbran Branch railway lines and was bounded on the south side by the Green Belt. The existing population of 1,675 in 1951 was housed in a range of residential properties including an estate of prefabricated housing at Court Farm.
Due to its awkward shape and the existence of large clay pits it was felt in 1951 that it was a difficult area to develop and that the Corporation would struggle to raise the population of 5000 required to sustain the usually community facilities of shops, primary schools etc? A major concern was the infilling of the claypits to increase land area and it was suggested that waste from industries such as the Panteg steel works might be used for this purpose.
