Suggest Your Favourite New Local Buildings for an Award

Ealing Civic Society looking for nominations for their annual prize

Each year Ealing Civic Society makes awards to recognise and encourage building and environmental projects that make a noteworthy contribution to the community in borough. The winners receive a certificate and may display a Society plaque commemorating the award.

They are asking residents to help draw up a list of nominees for the 2017 award. You can access entry forms on their web site which must be sent in by Monday 18 September. The entries will be judged by a panel of three architects. The Civic Society will present the Award and Commendations at a public ceremony on Thursday 9 November. The guest of honour will be Stephen Pound, MP for Ealing North. All those who have put forward nominations are invited to attend.

Charlottes W5 was commended last year

The purpose of the Society's award is to stimulate interest among the people of Ealing in development and conservation projects, and to enable them to recognise and reward new buildings, refurbishments or restorations which make a positive contribution to the amenity of Ealing and its townscape. The Society aims to encourage a high standard of architecture, design and fitness for purpose in buildings and other projects.

Awards will be made for schemes that enhance the environment by good design, landscaping, or service to the community of other kinds. They may include new buildings or those which have been substantially restored or refurbished, landscaping or townscape projects. Good design, fitness for purpose and flexibility in meeting changing needs are especially relevant. So too are the demonstration of energy efficiency, good pedestrian access, anti-pollution measures and the re-use of materials.

The nominated project must be located within the London Borough of Ealing. Work must have been completed during the two years preceding the year of the award, and the project must have been in use for its intended purpose for at least six months. Nominations must be made with the consent of the owners of the project. Any individual or group living, working, studying or otherwise based in the borough may make nominations.

Last year entries commended includede William Perkins High School, Charlotte’s W5 and Ealing Green Church.
