Papworth Trust

The Evelyn Fison development, Stowmarket, has been short-listed for the 2009 LABC East Anglia Building Excellence Awards.

The Local Authority Building Control (LABC) awards recognise the whole design and build process. The Trust has been short-listed in three categories: Best Large Housing Site; Best Conversion to Residential; and Best Social or Affordable Housing.

Papworth Trust partnered with Hill Residential for the development, which consists of eight rented and one shared ownership properties, and a communal area. Each of the properties is available for people with physical disabilities or acquired brain injuries.

Paul McCay, director of operations at Papworth Trust says: “I’m delighted that our development has been recognised in the LABC Awards. It’s a fantastic development providing affordable housing in a great location.”

The winners will be announced at a ceremony on 24 April at the University Arms Hotel, Cambridge.
