The winners of the Inside Housing Development Awards have been announced, with more than 19 winners across all categories.
Now in its fifth year, the Inside Housing Development Awards continues to celebrate developers, councils and architects from right across the UK for their work in building exemplary homes and communities across a range of tenures and contexts.
Sustainability and energy efficiency feature strongly among many winning entries – unsurprisingly, perhaps, given the wider economic context this year.
The judges also chose several winners who have successfully delivered great new homes on contaminated and hard-to-develop sites.
One such winner was Enfield Council, which picked up two awards this year; its Bury Street West development has turned a heavily contaminated site into a haven for biodiversity, while the council’s housing development and regeneration team won the award for best urban development team for punching well above its weight in a crowded field.
