West Suffolk Call for Sites 2026

Promote Your Land for Development with Expert Local Planning Support

The West Suffolk Call for Sites 2026 is now open, providing a key opportunity for landowners, developers, and investors to put forward land for future development.

At Cedar Planning, we specialise in promoting land through the planning system. As a local Chartered Town Planning consultancy based in East Anglia, we can guide you through the process and maximise the chances of your site being recognised as suitable for development.

You can view our full range of services via our Planning Consultancy Services page.

What Is the West Suffolk Call for Sites?

West Suffolk Council is inviting submissions of land that may be suitable for a range of future uses, including:

• Housing development

• Employment and commercial uses

• Mixed-use schemes

• Gypsy and Traveller accommodation

• Community facilities (schools, healthcare, etc.)

• Infrastructure and transport

• Green infrastructure (open space, biodiversity net gain, parks)

This process forms part of the Council’s evidence base for its Local Plan and wider land availability work.

It is important to note that submitting a site does not grant planning permission, but it is a critical first step in establishing development potential.

Key Dates

• Opening Date: 23 March 2026

• Closing Date: 20 May 2026 (5pm)

Promoting your land through this process can:

• Establish your site within the Council’s land supply evidence

• Increase the likelihood of future allocation in the Local Plan

• Strengthen your position for future planning applications
