Watercress Gardens allotments

18th September 2026
Watercress Gardens, our newest allotment site, is continuing to flourish, with plot holders making great progress and creating a real sense of community at the site.

New Alresford Town Council is responsible for the overall management of the town’s allotments at Watercress Gardens and Spring Gardens, working alongside the Allotment Society, who support the day-to-day running and maintenance of both sites.

New Alresford Town Council Neighbourhood Plan Update Report – September 2025

August 2025

In 2021, New Alresford Town Council (NATC) considered updating the New Alresford
Design Statement (2008). Instead, the decision was made to embark on a
Neighbourhood Plan—a more robust and statutory planning policy tool shaped by
residents and stakeholders. Once adopted, a Neighbourhood Plan helps guide
development while preserving the town’s heritage, identity, and sense of place.
An application to initiate the Neighbourhood Plan process was submitted to and
approved by Winchester City Council (WCC).
