Judging Criteria
To merit a national award, entries must demonstrate outstanding achievement judged to have advanced significantly the science and art of town planning for the benefit of the community, or to provide an outstanding example of the beneficial impact of positive planning.
-
In evaluating such achievements the following aspects, as appropriate, will be taken into account and should be specifically addressed in your entry submission:
-
Enhancement of the physical environment leading to recognisable social and economic benefit in terms of human happiness, greater safety and greater efficiency
-
-
How the submission has addressed all aspects of sustainable development
-
Originality of the achievement or approach
-
The key issues and problems that needed to be overcome
-
Quality of the professional work involved in project design, the development of planning concepts and the application of planning techniques
-
Extent to which the achievement may serve as a model for work elsewhere or as a basis for the development of further related schemes
-
The role played by the planner working in partnership with other agencies
The weakest part of many entries in previous years has been the failure to recognise the importance of the project summary and how the entry fulfils the seven separate judging criteria. In order to help the judges it is suggested that the summary consists of a short paragraph under each of the judging criteria explaining how the entry addresses each criterion. |
