About

Southwater North ward encompasses the newer residential developments on the northern side of the village. The area is characterised by modern housing estates, cul-de-sacs, and wide pavements that connect to local amenities. Its layout is designed with family living in mind, featuring several small playgrounds and green spaces interspersed between the homes. The architecture is largely uniform, with a mix of detached and semi-detached properties built from the late 20th century onwards.

A central feature is the large village green known as the Country Park, which includes a waterside path circling the main lake. This area provides a focal point for recreation, with facilities for sports and walking. The ward is primarily residential, with a secondary school and a supermarket serving as key community hubs. Transport links are provided by bus routes connecting the ward to Horsham town centre and surrounding areas.
