Ipswich Borough Council understands that some tenants may be self-employed and will wish to use their home as their workplace, or to run a small business.
Notify us if you run a business from home
If your home is your main place of work, you need to let us know. We will need to consider how this might affect the property, your neighbours, and the local community.
How to notify us
Please fill out the form below. This will allow a Housing Officer to discuss your situation with you and give you official permission to run a small business from your home.
Note: The button below opens in a new window.
Notify Council regarding your home business
Working from home for an employer
If you are working from home for an employer, such as doing computer or phone work, you do not need to inform the Council.
