News and Updates

Conservation Area Notice

Hart District Council received a conservation area notice from Hartley Wintney Cricket Club to fell 5 trees that border the drainage ditch in front of the Cricketer’s public house on Oakland Terrace in Hartley Wintney.

Since receiving the notification, the Council has been working with the Cricket Club, and together, the decision has been made to serve 5 Tree Preservation Order’s to protect the trees, resulting in the Conservation Area Notice being withdrawn.

Earlier this year a safety defect was identified on the oak tree furthest from the pavilion by the Council’s tree safety team. This tree will be felled in the near future and a replacement tree will be planted to replace the tree.

We recognise that trees make a positive contribution to the community and we are committed to the preservation and protection of them.

No recreational events are being held onsite during the current pandemic.
If you are interested in helping out with volunteer tasks once they are up and running again, visit the Hart Voluntary Action website or call them on 01252 627070.
