About the Newland Conservation Area
The Newland Conservation Area covers about 13 hectares and was designated by Forest of Dean District Council in 1979. Inside the boundary are 34 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 33 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. 1 Tree Preservation Order record overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
