About

Harbour Villages ward encompasses several coastal settlements along Chichester Harbour's northern edge. The area is defined by its intricate network of tidal creeks, mudflats, and expansive salt marshes. These environments are internationally protected for their wildlife, creating a landscape where residential areas blend with working boatyards and quiet sailing clubs. The pace here is governed by the tides, with many homes and lanes leading directly to the water's edge.

The ward includes the distinct villages of Bosham, with its notable church partially submerged at high tide, and Chidham, known for its agricultural peninsula. Land use is a mix of historic cores, modern housing, and significant areas of arable farmland. The entire area falls within the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, prioritising conservation. Daily life is closely connected to the harbour, with a focus on maritime activities and preserving the delicate balance between human habitation and the natural environment.
