Between 1972 and 1976 most of the buildings and several monuments in the village were listed as being of historic interest by the Department of the Environment. In 1975 the Bournemouth Council designated the village as a conservation area, covering the school, church, almshouses, cottages and the surrounding plantation, known as 'Albion Woods', or 'The Backs'. the village is also administered by the Talbot Village Trust €” which was set up by the Georgina Talbot.

Any developments within the confines of the Conservation Area are required to 'preserve or enhance' its character and appearance so designs have to be in keeping with the original designs. When the village was first laid out, 150 acres were set aside to remain as common land, mostly to the south of Wallisdown Road (now forming part of the Borough of Poole); this land was developed with modern housing towards the close of the 20th century. Bournemouth University has also been developed in this part of the village, partly on the site of one of the old farms.

In December 2022, Nuffield Health applied to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for planning permission to build a private hospital. The proposed site is farmland owned by the Talbot Village Trust.

Talbot Village is part of the Bournemouth West parliamentary constituency.
