Working at West Suffolk Council
West Suffolk Council is the district council created in 2019 from the former Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury councils, covering Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, Haverhill, Mildenhall, Brandon and Clare. Based at West Suffolk House in Bury St Edmunds, it runs district services such as housing, waste collection, leisure and planning.
Planning in West Suffolk deals with a wide range of places: the historic abbey town of Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and its horse racing industry and stud farms, the growing town of Haverhill and the Brecks around Brandon and Mildenhall, where protected heathland habitats limit development. The council is preparing a West Suffolk Local Plan, and its officers handle housing growth, the protection of racing land, applications linked to the airbases at Lakenheath and Mildenhall, and a strong flow of heritage casework.
