About

Earlswood & Whitebushes is a residential ward in the northeast of the borough, characterised by suburban housing and significant green infrastructure. The area includes the large Earlswood Common, a mix of woodland and heathland, and the smaller Whitebushes Green. Housing is primarily a mix of interwar semis and detached homes, with some modern developments. The A23 Brighton Road runs along its eastern edge, providing a major transport route.
