Wales Planning Award 2009

Winner: St David's Gateway: St David’s Gallery and Oriel y Parc 

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority

Oriel Y Parc is the main focal point for visitors entering St David's. It provides a car park encouraging visitors to explore the area by bus or by foot. The centre houses galleries, educational facilities, Visitor Centre and café and has achieved BREEAM Excellent.

The Wales Planning Award 2009 was awarded to the scheme because in the opinion of the judges the project provides a model of good practice for the management of large numbers of tourists in environmentally sensitive areas.

The project went on to scoop the RTPI’s national Award for Rural Areas and the Natural Environment.

Commended: Cardiff Conservation Area Appraisal Programme

Cardiff County Council

The judges felt that recognition should be given to the comprehensive way that Cardiff Council’s planners tackled this work, the way they involved local communities and the fact that the appraisals provide an agreed framework for the Council’s activities in Conservation Areas.
