Issue date: 10 February 2005
Entec has won the Royal Town Planning Institute's Planning Consultancy of the Year Award 2004. The award was announced at a celebratory lunch at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 3rd February, which was attended by a wide cross-section of the planning community and senior government representatives.
The panel of judges commented that:
"Entec scores highly for stakeholder consultation, skills development, ability to respond to the changing planning agenda, promotion of quality of life, client appreciation and commitment to dissemination of learning. The firm is committed to and excited by the planning task. Its planning team is capable of dealing with a huge range of tasks, bringing the same expertise to small-scale projects and national policy analysis. It also has a strategy to respond to the planning reforms. Staff development and training and client relations are first rate."
Also noted were Entec’s long-standing relationships with blue-chip clients such as the Crown Estate, Defence Estates and BAA, as well as innovation in areas such as strategic environmental assessment, sustainability appraisal, the links between community strategies and local development frameworks, and the environmental impact of increasing housing supply.
Entec Planning Director, Clive Harridge, said: “Winning
this award is excellent news for Entec as it recognises both the importance
that planning plays in the work we undertake for our clients and also the hard
work from our staff that has made attaining these high standards possible. We
must now look to the future to sustain and build on them further.”
