Planning authority
East Tisted comes under East Hampshire District Council for most services, but because the parish lies inside the South Downs National Park, it's the National Park Authority that handles planning applications.

A closed railway line nearby
The former Meon Valley Railway once passed just east of the village, and although the line and its station here have long closed, the route still marks a natural boundary to the parish.
