Quality of Place Awards

Recognising and celebrating efforts to enhance the quality of the built and natural environment within the district.

Nominations are now open


The Quality of Place Awards were introduced by Suffolk Coastal District Council in 2010 to recognise and celebrate efforts to enhance the quality of the built and natural environment within the district.

The Awards have been held annually since then, and from 2019, with the formation of the new East Suffolk Council, the Quality of Place Awards were extended across the whole East Suffolk Council Area.

There is a need for high standards in all forms of design, including planning, architecture, sustainable development, ecology, landscape design and community engagement.

Therefore, projects can be submitted in six categories (they can be submitted in more than one):

  • Design - New build
  • Design - Extensions and alterations
  • Building conservation
  • Community
  • Landscape
  • Nature/ecology

More information and the nomination form are available through the link at the top of the page.
