Welcome to the Suffolk Design Online Tool

This resource provides practical guidance and support for both Planning Officers and applicant teams, helping ensure proposals meet the quality standards expected under National and Local Policy.

​

The tool ensures relevant policy and guidance are applied at the right stages of creating and assessing proposals, so that schemes deliver the level of quality valued by Suffolk’s communities.

 

It also offers advice and direct links to supporting policy and guidance, helping applicants submit proposals to the expected standard and assisting planners in understanding what ‘good design’ looks like for Suffolk.
