From innovative architecture and sympathetic renovations to sustainable materials and energy-saving solutions, the awards showcase the many ways good design can enhance the built environment while helping to protect what makes the New Forest special. Projects completed within the last three years are eligible, with awards presented across four categories: • Best Residential Scheme – celebrating new homes, extensions and residential conversions. • Best Non-Residential Scheme – recognising projects such as community buildings, visitor attractions, workplaces and educational facilities. • Best Conservation Project – highlighting the restoration, repair or sensitive extension of historic buildings. • Best Green Building – showcasing sustainable construction and materials, retro t projects and renewable energy solutions.

Steve Trow, Chair of the Planning Committee at the New Forest National Park Authority, said: “Our planning system plays a vital role in protecting the New Forest for future generations, safeguarding its unique qualities while supporting its continued role as a living, working landscape. High-quality design is at the heart of our approach. This is supported by our planning policies, the National Park Design Guide and individual Village Design Statements, which are developed and regularly updated in partnership with local communities. We want to hear about projects that demonstrate what good design can achieve, whether that’s through conserving a historic building, creating a well-designed new home, providing an important community facility or finding innovative ways to make buildings more sustainable.” e NPA welcomes nominations from residents, visitors, developers, planning professionals and parish councils, as well as those wanting to nominate their own buildings.
