The RTPI Awards for Planning Excellence celebrate outstanding plans, projects and people that demonstrate the power of planning. These awards highlight exceptional examples of how planning and planners have a positive impact on our quality of life in creating exceptional places and protecting our environment.
Thank you to everyone who entered this year's awards.
The North West winners were announced at the RTPI NW Annual Dinner on Friday 24 June at the Hilton Deansgate Manchester.
Best in Region winners were presented jointly to RHS Garden Bridgewater, submitted by Barton Willmore now Stantec and Salford City Council for Planning Authority of the Year.
And then onto the national ceremony...
The winning and top scoring entries across all 15 categories will become national finalists in October and we will reward and celebrate the very best in planning at a ceremony in central London on 30 November. The silver jubilee cup will be awarded to the project deemed the most outstanding of all the winning projects.
