Design and Conservation Awards 2007
The Elmbridge 2007 Design and Conservation Awards ceremony was held at the Civic Centre on the evening of Thursday, 22 March 2007 and attended by over 70 people.
This was the fifth series of awards, which have been organised by Planning Services. They seek to recognise and reward completed developments, which make an important contribution to the visual quality of the Borough's built environment and heritage and which preserve and improve its character and appearance.
The event was introduced by Martin Parker, former Head of Town Planning with a talk by Dr Nigel Barker from English Heritage. Councillor Mrs Shweta Kapadia, Chairman of the Planning Committee and the Elmbridge Design and Historic Environment Champion read out the awards while the Worshipful Mayor of Elmbridge presented the winning entries with plaques and certificates. There were two award categories for Design and Conservation and the winners are listed below.
