The Assessment Process
At the first stage of assessment, entries will be visited by a team consisting of a senior architect and where available, a member of the local community, an inclusive design advisor and a representative of the Local Authority planning department. This team reports its recommendations to the National Panel (a representative group of experts) that make the final decisions on the level of award to be given.
The assessor team will be looking for schemes that use sustainable design and construction, have a positive impact on their local environment, and have well integrated and detailed access for all.
