Planning awards 2018 - results

The Peak District National Park Planning Awards were hosted by Thornbridge Hall on 21 November 2018. The winners received beautifully crafted Derbyshire Fossil Limestone Awards kindly donated by Natural Stones Sales Ltd. The evening was a celebration of innovative design and ground-breaking architecture from across the UK’s first National Park.

The nominations were considered by the awards judging panel, with projects as varied as community and educational facilities to conservation and residential schemes. A wide range of materials, and sustainability features were showcased in the nominations, always with the National Park’s unique built heritage at the heart of design. As well as choosing the winning schemes, the judges also wanted to commend some of the schemes for the quality of design, sympathetic restorations and contribution to the special qualities of the National Park. Details of all of the nominated schemes are available on the presentation shown at the awards.
