Response to constraints and other regeneration factors – e.g. how dealt with brownfield land, contaminated land, listed building status, etc.
Quality of design and building/conservation works
Development sensitivity – to the surrounding area
Innovation used in the project
Budgetary considerations - e.g. funding streams accessed, public versus private funding received, etc.
