Newnham Conservation Area

The major part of Newnham north of the railway plus the area around the Barracks are in the Newnham Conservation Area.

A map of the conservation area (676KB)  can be found on the Basingstoke & Deane web site.  

A booklet on the Conservation Area is available from Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council and on their website in the Conservation Area Appraisal section.

Newnham Green Protection Association

NGPA works with the Parish Council in maintaining Newnham Green, which involves cutting the grass and verges and maintaining the ditches. The Association is supported by voluntary contributions from residents in Newnham                                                         

Tree Preservation Orders & Trees in a Conservation Area

A number of trees within the Parish are subject to Tree Preservation Orders and permission from Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council is required before any work can be carried out on a tree covered by a Preservation Order.

Homeowners within the Conservation Area are reminded that a Notification of Intent to Carry Out Work must be submitted to Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council before work is carried out on any tree that is more than 75 mm in diameter at a point 1.5 metres above the ground. Copies of the relevant forms can be obtained from the Senior Tree Officer, Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council, Telephone number 01256 845 500, or the forms and advice notes can be downloaded from www.basingstoke.gov.uk/services/envhealth/Trees/_trees.htm. It takes about 6 weeks to obtain permission to lop branches or cut down a tree; often a new tree must replace one which has been felled.
