Westbourne is a semi-rural ward in the district of Chichester, located in the county of West Sussex close to the Hampshire border and the coastal settlement of Emsworth. It sits on the fringe between low-lying agricultural land and the coastal harbour area, giving a mix of village streets, period houses and surrounding farmland rather than dense urban development.
The area has a traditionally village-centred social life with local shops, pubs and parish activities, alongside residents who commute to nearby centres such as Chichester and Portsmouth. Historic buildings and a quiet rural character are notable, and the local economy is largely shaped by small-scale services, agriculture and the appeal of the ward as a commuter and retirement location. Community events and conservation-minded planning help preserve its local identity.
