Area Based Regeneration
This category considers large scale regeneration involving the
construction or re-use of a number of buildings within an area
adjacent to a waterway. The resulting scheme must be successfully
integrated with the waterway and be responsive to both local and
the wider strategic needs.
Entries for this category will represent regeneration on a
significant scale. Quality of design and build within the project
are also key to the development's success.
When entering your project, you should describe:
- the benefits brought to the area in social, environmental and
economic terms, and specifically how these meet local and/or
regional needs.
- the way in which it has taken a co-ordinated approach to
delivering these benefits
- any innovative methods that have been used to ensure future
regeneration is stimulated.
The assessment panel will be looking for evidence of wide
ranging consultation with stakeholders within the community and
effective partnership working. The panel will also be interested in
hearing how you overcame any significant issues and any lessons
that have been learned.
