About

Suffolk Design is a collaboration between all Local Authorities and County Council in Suffolk. Its goal is to ensure that we work consistently and efficiently to deliver well-designed places that benefit residents, visitors, and the environment.

​

The partnership between the Authorities ensures the initiative is public-sector-driven, providing officers with consistency in resources and the ability to gain knowledge and experience in design and placemaking in Suffolk. 

​

To achieve this Suffolk Design.

​

• Providing long-term support to all Suffolk Authorities.

• Serving as a public sector-driven initiative through renewed partnerships.

• Establishing high aspirations and standards for design and placemaking.

• Facilitating learning, collaboration, and promotion among Authorities.

• Providing a cohesive vision for shaping Suffolk's future.

​​

Suffolk Design is a central base where it provides, not just public sector officers, but also private sector industry, an essential resource to help those involved with placemaking to shape and influence future development.

​

This is achieved through the online resources hosted on this website (guidance documents and events), future public sector officer tours, training, and the development of the Suffolk Design Management Process.

​

Suffolk Design is managed and run by public sector officers voluntarily with key representation from all local and county councils.
