This is the site for the Suffolk Landscape Character Assessment that has been carried out jointly by all the District Councils and the County Council.

It is designed to support work to maintain and restore the landscape of Suffolk, particularly through the planning system and to promote and foster wider understanding of the landscapes of Suffolk

The project has assessed the landscape of the county and identified thirty distinct types of landscape within it, to understand how this process has worked follow the Landscape Typology link in the menu bar
