Four building schemes in Bradford have been short-listed for the national finals of the Building Excellence Awards.

 

Bradford Council put forward ten schemes from around the district, which has resulted in four outright winners in their building categories at the recent regional finals held at Headingley Stadium.

 

The award celebrates some of the best examples of building quality across West Yorkshire. 

 

Bradford entry winners include;17 Ladderbanks Lane in Baildon, 128 plots by Harron Homes at Hazelhurst Quarry Long Lane, Queensbury, Hill End Farm Hill and the Sustainable Enterprise Centre at Bradford University. 

   

The winning buildings are judged on the building's standards, their technical innovation and sustainable designs.

 

Projects submitted for the award range from domestic extensions to commercial developments. 

 

Bradford Council's Executive Member for  Housing, Planning and Transport, Val Slater said: "We are pleased to be so well represented in these prestigious awards. It is good to hear that such excellent workmanship is being carried out in our district, resulting in schemes to be proud of."

 

The Buildings Excellence Awards co-hosted by the five West Yorkshire local authorities - Bradford, Leeds, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield, were launched nine years ago.

 

They are the only regional awards of their kind to cover all forms of construction.

 

The regional event raised £2,374.81 for the nominated charity which was the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

 

The national finals take place in London in the autumn.
