About

Lavant ward encompasses a mix of rural and suburban landscapes on the northern fringe of Chichester city. The area is largely defined by the River Lavant, which flows through it, and includes the separate villages of Mid Lavant and East Lavant. The surrounding scenery is characterised by the rolling foothills of the South Downs, with farmland and small residential developments.

A notable local landmark is the Goodwood Estate, whose extensive grounds and famous racecourse are a central feature of the area's geography and community. The ward maintains a distinct village character, with local facilities centred around each settlement. The presence of the Roman road Stane Street, which passes through, hints at the area's long historical significance within the wider Chichester district.
