Part of a larger parish
Rather than being its own village, Springvale is a pocket of housing within Kings Worthy parish, quieter and more residential than the busier stretch of Kings Worthy nearer the main road.
Planning authority
As part of Kings Worthy parish, Springvale comes under Winchester City Council for planning purposes, the same authority that covers New Alresford.
Close to the watercress beds
The area sits near watercress beds off Bedfield Lane, a reminder that the chalk streams running through this part of Hampshire shape ground conditions as much as they shape the landscape.
