Awards

Regional Awards 2012

Three commendations were awarded to the entries for the 2012 East Midlands Awards. 

The projects were St Mary's Place, Market Harborough, Mansfield District Council's Guidance Notes on a potential SPA and Canal and Waterways Trust refurbishment of the Iron Trunk Aqueduct, Cosgrove.

St Mary's Place submitted by Andrew Granger and Harborough District Council was the masterplan to redevelop the former livestock market in Market Harborough.  The scheme completed in the 1990s, consisting of retail, carparking and riverside walk represents a good example of balancing economic, social and environmental issues.

Mansfield's submission was a comprehensive suite of guidance documents for planners, developers and other partners who may be affected by a future potential SPA classification of an area of Sherwood Forest, which will assist in identfying likely significant environmental impacts of development proposals.

The Iron Trunk Aqueduct was refurbished and enhanced as a tourist attraction by the Canal and Waterways Trust.
