About

Southbourne ward lies on the eastern edge of the Chichester district, bordering West Sussex’s coastline. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing developments from different eras, alongside local shopping parades that serve the community. Its landscape includes areas of open farmland and green space, providing a semi-rural character to its northern sections. The ward functions as a distinct settlement with its own facilities, separate from the historic city centre.

A notable local feature is the proximity to Chichester Harbour, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The shoreline and adjacent paths offer access to coastal scenery and quiet waterways. The residential streets are generally quiet, with a focus on neighbourhood amenities like schools and community centres. The area maintains a practical connection to the wider district while having a self-contained atmosphere.
