East Suffolk Council

Design, heritage, ecology, trees, landscape and Rights of Way

East Suffolk is one of the largest and most diverse districts in England - a coastal area rich in landscape, heritage, and ecological value.

Our Specialist Services Prospectus explains more about how East Suffolk Council protects and enhances these special environments.

Specialist Services is a dedicated in-house team within the Planning Service, providing expert advice on design, heritage, ecology, arboriculture, landscape, and rights of way. The team plays a vital role in the planning process and contributes more widely across the council to promote sustainable, high-quality places.

This proactive and multidisciplinary approach reflects the council’s strong commitment to shaping and safeguarding East Suffolk’s built, natural, and historic environments.
