The Designing Places Awards will not simply consider house types or stand alone developments but will embrace the government's 'place-making' agenda by rewarding those companies who are contributing to the creation of dynamic environments for future generations. The Homes for Scotland Quality Award Scheme, now in its sixth year, is open to the organisation's home builder members. These companies provide 95% of all new homes built for sale in Scotland each year. Stewart Maxwell MSP, Minister for Communities and Sport said: "The Homes for Scotland Awards are an opportunity to demonstrate that the Government's ambition is matched by those responsible for creating the high quality development that Scotland's communities deserve." Entries will be evaluated by an independent judging panel, Chaired by Scotland's Chief Planner, Jim McKinnon. He said: "I am confident that the projects which will emerge from the Awards process will help raise greater awareness of design issues, see high quality development which enhances a sense of place and identity as the norm rather than the exception and, in so doing, contribute significantly to sustainable economic growth in Scotland." The deadline for entries is Friday, January 18, 2008. Winners will be announced at the industry's annual lunch at which the Minister is expected to address an audience of over 650 members of the Scottish homebuilding industry. |
