Inside Housing Development Awards winners announced
The best in new housing from across the UK was celebrated in London last night at the second Inside Housing Development Awards.
The winners (see full list below) were drawn from all corners of Great Britain.
The Raining’s Stairs development in Inverness, designed by Trail Architects, won the award for best residential development (under 70 homes), while in Plymouth the Nelson Project, a development built - and now occupied - by service veterans under the auspices of Liverty housing association, was named best affordable housing development (under 25 homes).
One scheme - Limelight, an 81-home extra care development in Old Trafford, Manchester - bagged two awards for Trafford Housing Trust and builder Willmott Dixon. It won best affordable housing development (over 71 homes) and best older people’s housing development (over 71 homes), as well as being highly commended in the best residential development (over 71 homes) category.
“The entries reveal not just that people are building fantastic homes - they also demonstrate how the sector is helping to build successful areas and communities as a result,” said Martin Hilditch, managing editor at Inside Housing. “That involves everything from brilliant design to high-quality delivery across a range of different tenures.”
More details about the winning entries will be published online and in a special printed supplement next month.
