The Suffolk Coastal district has many historically important
private and public parks and gardens, some with large houses. Some
of these areas are situated within
conservation areas, some have listed buildings
and some are included on the English Heritage
Register of Parks and Gardens of special
historical interest.
The 21 parks and gardens listed below have been recorded in
Supplementary Planning Guidance - Historic parks
and gardens (SPG 6). The purpose of the document is to highlight
their importance and special qualities.
Special planning considerations apply to these parks and gardens
and advice is available from the Council. It is also recognised
that there are many other parks and gardens which have special
historic qualities.
