About

College Lane and Oaklands form a mainly residential quarter north of Chichester’s centre, with a mixture of terraced streets, semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats. College Lane itself is known for the Chichester College campus, whose workshops, training kitchens and sports facilities bring a steady flow of students during term time. Pavements and short hedged front gardens line many streets; small green spaces and playing fields used by local clubs sit between the housing. Regular bus stops on the lane provide straightforward links to other parts of the district, and a handful of local shops and cafés serve day-to-day needs.

Oaklands is organised around a network of quiet residential roads and community amenities. Local groups use the recreation ground and halls for sports and events, and allotments and tree-lined verges give the area a suburban feel. Housing stock dates largely from the mid-20th century, with some later infill. The presence of the college buildings on College Lane shapes the daytime rhythm of the area, with vocational courses and community classes running alongside routine neighbourhood life.
