PLANNING AWARDS 2020 – celebrating great design in the Peak District National Park
C
ould you help us to celebrate some of the Peak District’s finest planning projects? The Peak District National Park Authority is to host its Planning Awards later this year. The awards will recognise and reward outstanding developments, where extra consideration has been taken to make a positive contribution to the special qualities of the National Park. The competition will be open for entries from 1st May to 11th September – and nominations will be invited in five categories. The awards ceremony is hosted by Thornbridge Hall on the evening of 19th November and winners will receive awards beautifully handcrafted from Derbyshire Fossil Limestone, donated by Natural Stone Sales Ltd.
John Scott, director of conservation and planning for the Peak District National Park Authority, said: “We’re looking for exemplar projects which showcase creative and sustainable designs within the National Park. “Following the positive feedback from our last awards in 2018, we have created a new residential category to recognise excellence in extension designs. “As well as individual and business nominations, we are very keen to hear from parish councils and groups who have been involved in developing community facilities or recognise the wider benefits from a development or landscape enhancement. “Designs don’t have to be to a grand scale, so long as they have been done well and thought has gone into how a scheme enhances the National Park.”
