The Suffolk Preservation Society (established in 1929) is the County Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE).
The Society works to protect and enhance the countryside, towns and villages of Suffolk. Its volunteers in the Districts with a Chartered Planner at Little Hall in Lavenham, combine effective local action through the planning system with the promotion of building conservation projects, encouragement for sustainable planning, and campaigns and awards which support this ethos.
Our aim is to ensure that the distinctive character of Suffolk's built environment, coastline and landscape is protected. Where change is proposed the Society will use its expertise and resources to play a proactive role in all the relevant processes so as to ensure that change is undertaken sympathetically and to the highest standards of design and sustainability.
Help us to protect the rich diversity of the County - its countryside and coastline beauty, its tranquil places; its rich complexity of buildings and architecture; its historic market towns, country villages and farm hamlets - its special character.
If you are not already a member, please consider joining us today and become a part of the campaign to ensure that changes to the environment of Suffolk respect its natural and built heritage and promote sustainable development for a better future for all.
