Rochdale Borough Design Awards 2009
Voting has now closed. Thank you for voting!
As part of the borough’s
commitment to, and recognition of, design excellence, we have
launched the Rochdale Borough Design Awards.
There will be 2 awards: one decided by the public
called the Rochdale Borough People's Design Award and the other
decided by a panel of experts in the field called the Rochdale
Borough Design Award.
The awards will build on the success of the recently
published Oldham and Rochdale Urban Design Guide Supplementary
Planning Documents (Adopted September 2007) which have been
hailed as an outstanding example of local authority guidance for
developers in respect of design issues. They raise the bar in terms
of expectations for design in the boroughs, welcoming innovation
and excitement in architecture and open space design.
The voting
Nominations were invited and submitted, and seven
developments were nominated.
A judging panel of design experts then assessed these schemes in
respect of the Rochdale Borough Design Award. Public voting then
took place on the website in respect of the People’s Design Award
(six developments were voted on as one had been withdrawn).
Voting has now closed and the winners of both the awards will be
announced shortly. Thank you for voting.
