Details of service:
English Heritage maintains a register of parks and gardens which are of special historic interest. This includes the following parks in Southampton:
Central Parks
Southampton Old Cemetery
Townhill Park
Development is not permitted which would detract from the character or historic value of these parks. This includes development both within and outside a park which would affect its setting.
Descriptions of the three registered parks in Southampton can be found in the document to the right of this page. For a map of the parks, see the MapSouthampton web site. General information about the register of parks and gardens is available on the English Heritage web site (link to the right of this page).
In addition to the national register, the Hampshire Register of Historic Parks and Gardens is a list of parks, gardens and designed landscapes of historic interest, although includes some parks and gardens that no longer exist. For information about those parks and gardens within the City of Southampton, contact the Southampton Historic Environment Record. To find out more about the Hampshire Register, follow the link to the right of this page.
Southampton City Council's policy on historic parks and gardens is outlined in the Local Plan.
