Sprotbrough residents are invited to share their views on the future of the Newton Conservation area, off Sprotbrough Road.

A consultation on a draft appraisal and management proposal for the area began on December 1.

The appraisal for Newton sets out what is special about the area and offers guidance to protect it, along with offering help to people on submitting planning applications.

Newton, which became a designated conservation area in 1992, is just one within the council's programme to review all 46 conservation areas across the borough.

Mayor Martin Winter said: "I am passionate about ensuring we have the best possible future for Doncaster but also fully aware of protecting our proud heritage and conservation areas.

"In order to do that we need full and vibrant consultation with residents and that is what I want to see at Newton.

"This is a great opportunity for people to have their say on the future of this area in Doncaster and improve their local surroundings."

The draft appraisal can be viewed at the reception of Danum House, St.

Sepulchre Gate (open Monday to Friday 8.30am–5pm), at Central Library, at Sprotbrough Library or at www.doncaster.gov.uk/planning

Residents can hear the findings of the appraisal and ask questions about any future plans when it is presented by a representative from Doncaster Council's Urban Renaissance Team at the Sprotbrough Parish Council meeting, Goldsmith Centre, Sprotbrough Road on 18 December at 6.30pm.
