Regeneration Project of the Year Award 2020-2021

The application will be judged by a panel of expert judges and a shortlist selected by the end of July.

The shortlisted projects will then be visited by the panel of judges on Tuesday 24th August 2021 in order to select three finalists.

The winners of the Regeneration Project of the Year Award will be decided by the panel of expert judges.

The development will be judged on the following criteria:

• Catalyst for the regeneration of the wider area – the extent to which the project has acted as a catalyst for the regeneration of the surrounding area or created opportunities for this to happen in the future.
• Economic regeneration benefits of the scheme – jobs created or saved, investment brought in, training provided, etc.
• Social, community and environmental regeneration benefits – including facilities for local residents, support for community groups, sustainability features, etc.
• Response to constraints and other regeneration factors – e.g. how dealt with brownfield land, contaminated land, listed building status, etc.
• Quality of design and building/conservation works
• Development sensitivity – to the surrounding area
• Innovation used in the project
• Budgetary considerations - eg funding streams accessed, public versus private funding received, etc.
