A hamlet, not a village in its own right
Crowdhill is little more than a scattering of houses and a farmhouse around Crowdhill Green, on the edge of Fair Oak toward Winchester Road, rather than a settlement with its own shops or centre.
Part of Fair Oak and Horton Heath parish
Crowdhill sits within the same Fair Oak and Horton Heath civil parish as its larger neighbour, so it comes under Eastleigh Borough Council for planning, with no separate local rules of its own.
Larger, more rural plots
Being on the fringe of the built-up village, some Crowdhill properties sit on larger or more irregular plots than the terraced streets closer to Fair Oak's centre, which can open up more options for the size and position of a garden room.
