A parish of hamlets

As well as the main village, the Colden Common parish includes Hensting, Fisher's Pond, Nob's Crook, Highbridge and Brambridge, each with its own character but sharing the same planning authority.

Partly inside a National Park

Part of the parish sits within the South Downs National Park boundary, which can bring its own planning considerations on top of the usual rules, depending on exactly where a property falls.
