Newton conservation area

Newton was designated a conservation area on 30 March 1992.

The first appraisal of the conservation area was finalised in February 2009 after being out to consultation. This was reviewed in 2014 to take account of any significant changes that had occurred there since the original appraisal was carried out.

The Review document, along with the original appraisal documents are available below:

To view the location of the conservation area, please go to the Heritage Map.

Newton is situated adjacent to the River Don on its flood plain, approximately one mile to the west of Doncaster town centre. It is a small hamlet of farmsteads where agriculture is still important and is separated from the nearby suburbs by a raised railway line and open fields. The River Don gives the settlement an air of seclusion considering its proximity to the town.

The historic buildings share a common architecture by being of simple forms, mainly one or two storeys and of narrow spans. Stone and render are used in the main although there is some brick. The roofs are around 30 to 40 degrees in pitch and covered with natural red clay pantiles or small plain tiles. There are several large trees around the outskirts of the hamlet with a copse to the western tip of the conservation area.

Within the conservation area there are no listed buildings, however significant buildings and features are outlined in the appraisal.

Newton Conservation Area lies within the boundary of the proposed Sprotbrough Neighbourhood Plan and will be subject to its policies if adopted. Full details of the proposed plan and its current status can be found at Sprotbrough Neighbourhood Development Plan.
