Yapton is an electoral ward centred on the village in the district of Arun, in West Sussex, England. It lies on the low-lying coastal plain a few miles inland from the seafront, close to Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, and combines stretches of arable farmland, hedgerows and pockets of residential development.
Historically agricultural with a medieval parish church and several listed buildings, the ward keeps a strong village feel even as many residents commute to nearby towns. Local life revolves around the village hall, primary school and sports clubs, while planning and conservation issues - balancing new housing with protecting the rural character - feature regularly in community discussion.
