Planning plays a vital role in the environmental, social and economic quality of life of the British Isles and Ireland. Used positively and creatively, planning produces and protects places of outstanding quality and brings lasting benefits for all those who live in them. Its practitioners can – and should – be proud of their contribution to these outcomes and the processes that lead to them.

 

Every year since 1978, the Royal Town Planning Institute's Awards for outstanding achievement in town and country planning have celebrated the planning profession's contribution to the quality of life throughout the British Isles and Ireland. The Awards recognise the diversity of planning achievement, whether in urban or rural areas, whether large or small in scale, whether involving new development or regeneration, and whether promoted by the public, private or community sectors.

 

The Awards look beyond purely physical outcomes to recognise innovative plans, processes, techniques, information systems, programmes of community involvement and improvements to public services.

 

All types of planning activities are eligible, including plans, processes, projects or completed schemes. However one of the tests of plans such as master plans is their capability of implementation. It is appropriate that plans of this kind are entered when there is evidence of their success on the ground. The scale of the project is not necessarily relevant to the evaluation of the achievement.

 

Awards may be made to local authorities, consultants, community groups, developers, public agencies, partnerships or other teams judged to merit such recognition.

 

Anyone can submit entries. There is no requirement for entries to be submitted by RTPI members. The achievement must be located in the British Isles and Ireland.
