All submissions must also reflect the local market with a nod towards the vernacular of the East of England.

About this award:
Planning activity across the East of England continues at historic high levels. As new developments come on stream and get promoted, private and public sector clients are increasingly turning to planning consultants for advice and guidance. Planning consultants need to demonstrate in their submissions a clear strategy to answer the brief, a logical process to achieve planning permission and feedback from their client post submission. Alternative measures could include investment in sustainable approaches to business or the adoption of creative ways which encourage growth and loyalty.

About this award:
Good architecture in the built environment has never had such a high profile. Heighted by client expectations and the rigours of the planning process, Architects have to absorb these many challenges and produce buildings which reflect the local vernacular. Judges will be looking for architects who can demonstrate track record in the County / Region and an empathy with local planners, delivering successful projects. (Note – companies do not have to have an office in the County / Region).

A celebration of a person under 35 years of age, who has showed leadership and is an inspiration to others around them.
