Suburban village and former civil parish, on the edge of Gloucester, Hempsted Conservation Area concludes that the special interest of the area derives from the following key characteristics: It is situated on a flat-topped hill above meadows in the floodplain of the River Severn with extensive views to Gloucester, Highnam. and the Forest of Dean.

Though situated close to major roads, flood defences, industrial estates lining the former docks and the Gloucester and Sharpness canal, it has successfully retained a separate identity and has not been affected by industrial and suburban.

The domestic buildings consist of farm worker's cottages from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, set back from the road (originally set within orchards) and post WWII housing estates built within the grounds of Hempsted Court (demolished in 1962) or on former fields and orchards to the south and east of the village. The church end of the village is especially attractive, with its village cross, Church Farm, St Swithin's Church and Hempsted House forming a 'classic' English village scene.

This end of the village has been protected from development, preserving foreground views of hedges, woods and meadows that stand between the village and the banks of the Severn and more distant views of the high plateau of the Forest of Dean; There is no through traffic and the village centre feels safe and tranquil.

The Lysons Trust owns land in the village and has influenced the character of the village (for example, through the construction of a new church hall),

The village has an active community, with a post office and a shop, a primary school and village hall, a church hall, a church that is open to visitors, a well-kept churchyard and well-signposted public footpaths. Well-maintained private gardens and allotments are another attractive feature of the village.
Trees make an important contribution to the conservation area, and any loss of such trees would be detrimental. Council policy is to ensure that these trees are protected and maintained in a healthy condition. Hempsted is surrounded by open fields to the south, they form a protective green belt around the village and are designated as a Landscape Conservation Area.
