This award recognises the challenges faced when developing a small scheme that is affordable for home ownership.
The scheme can be mixed tenure but the number of homes on the whole development must not exceed 30 units.
It must not compromise on design and build quality to achieve the levels of affordability and must have considered and recognised standards of best practice for the following cross cutting themes:
- value for money
- customer care
- accessing and valuing diversity.
Judges will be looking for developments which have successfully met some or all of the criteria below:
- Demonstrate how the development met the needs of the local market and responded to demand.
- Demonstrate how the design features used made the most of the site potential as well as showing sensitivity to intimate neighbourhoods and the surrounding area.
- Evidence how any specific challenges or local considerations were taken into account when developing this small scheme.
- Demonstrate innovation to support people into home ownership and how financial modelling difficulties were overcome to create the best levels of affordability.
- Evidence how well the organisation performed against the scheme’s objectives, including sustainability targets, sales success and examples of local support and response.
