"Entries for this year’s south west RTPI awards demonstrated the extraordinary variety of work that the regions planning professionals undertake. From our exceptionally talented young planners, to seasoned consultancy practices, to hard-working local planning authorities, this year’s entries demonstrate the skill, dedication and creativeness that south west planners pour into their work on a daily basis and the judging panel have very much enjoyed the difficult task of picking the worthy shortlist for the awards."

Stuart Wingfield, RTPI South West Head Judge
