Lavant is an electoral ward and village just north of Chichester in West Sussex, England. It occupies a small chalk valley around the River Lavant, sitting at the foot of the South Downs and surrounded by rolling farmland and hedgerows, so it feels distinctly rural despite its proximity to the city.
The area has a long parish history and a compact village core, with local life shaped by agriculture and the nearby Goodwood estate - whose racecourse and motoring events bring seasonal visitors and employment. Community-minded and largely residential, the ward combines conservation-minded landscapes, a quiet village atmosphere and easy commuting into Chichester for services and shops.
