A village parish with room to grow
Shedfield's parish council has worked with Winchester City Council on a published village design statement setting out how new development should fit the area's character, alongside more recent affordable housing schemes built on the edge of the village.
Winchester City Council, not Eastleigh
Being within the City of Winchester rather than the Borough of Eastleigh means Shedfield's permitted development queries are handled by Winchester City Council, a different authority to the one that covers Hedge End itself.
A parish that includes more than one settlement
Shedfield parish also takes in Waltham Chase and Shirrell Heath, so gardens across quite different parts of the parish can all sit under the same planning rules even though the character of each settlement differs.
Frequently asked questions
Is Shedfield the same council as Hedge End?+
No — Shedfield falls within the City of Winchester, while Hedge End sits in the Borough of Eastleigh, so the two are handled by different councils.
Does Shedfield parish cover more than the village itself?+
Yes — Waltham Chase and Shirrell Heath both sit within the wider Shedfield civil parish, alongside the village of Shedfield itself.
