UK DEVELOPERS AND HOUSE BUILDERS


Your legacy is measured by the quality of the communities you create. You are the private-sector forces who turn plans into places, delivering the homes, infrastructure, and environments the country desperately needs.

The Planning Awards are unique because they celebrate the entire "Plan to Place" journey, recognising that great places are born from the successful synergy of policy, process, and physical creation. A win is an independent, powerful mark of quality that demonstrates your commitment to outstanding design, sustainability, and positive social impact.
