The five partner Local Authorities which make up North Northamptonshire plan to advance an ambitious growth agenda to build 40,000 homes over 20 years and create a new Garden Village. Fereday Pollard will be developing principles for the design and management of a key radial route connecting new Garden Communities with the town centre.
The Future Place programme aims to recognise and support high quality placemaking in England. The scheme is run by the RIBA alongside the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), Homes England, Local Government Association (LGA) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
RIBA President, Ben Derbyshire, said:
“The RIBA’s Future Place programme is all about supporting the five local planning authorities as they develop their ambitious future visions to enhance people’s lives, improve community wellbeing and create sustainable environments. Now each has a talented architectural practice to work alongside, I believe we will clearly demonstrate the role the profession has to play. I am delighted with the outcome and very much look forward to seeing ideas unfold.”
Sadie Morgan, Founding Director of dRMM, National Infrastructure Commissioner and jury member, said:
“The quality of submissions coupled with the ambition of local authorities to do things differently shows that initiatives such as this can positively impact the way we deliver future places. My congratulations go to all those involved, from the competitors, clients, government agencies, and professional bodies – through their collaboration they have shown real leadership in improving the placemaking of the nation.”
