East Suffolk Council

Sustainability in housing

In July 2019, East Suffolk Council unanimously voted to declare a climate emergency. Environmental sustainability is essential in the creation of homes and communities in which people want to live and work. Lowering our carbon footprint will help our tenants save money and deliver lasting environmental, social, and economic benefits.

We recognise that development has a major part to play in supporting the council to achieve its commitments to help fight climate change. We are committed to providing exemplar affordable housing and actively encourage other housing providers and developers across East Suffolk and beyond to strive for a greener approach to both existing accommodation and new developments.
