Countryside News

Countryside scooped up two awards at the WhatHouse? Awards 2020, which took place online for the first time on 27th November 2020.

We are proud to have won the Best Residential Developer award at this year’s Construction News Awards 2020.

Countryside, the UK’s leading mixed-tenure developer, L&Q, one of the UK’s leading housing associations, and Ealing Council have officially re-opened Bollo Brook Park, a transformed public open space at Acton Gardens, the regeneration of the former South Acton estate in west London, alongside pupils from Berrymede Junior School and Berrymede Infant School.

Countryside has received 16 NHBC regional Quality Awards and three Seals of Excellence at this year’s NHBC Pride in the Job awards.

Countryside is supporting the Rhys Daniels Trust by furnishing a one-bedroom apartment at Aura, in Great Kneighton, recently purchased by the charity as an apartment for use by parents whose children are being treated at nearby Addenbrooke’s Hospital.

Countryside is proud to announce that Great Kneighton, a sustainable new community spread over 269 acres in Cambridge, has been named ‘Housing Project of The Year’ at this year’s Building Awards.

We are proud to have received two ‘highly commended’ ratings at this year’s First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards. The awards, currently in their 11th year, seek to celebrate organisations that have demonstrated excellence in producing top-quality homes for aspiring buyers across a range of criteria.

A playground improvement project at St Margaret’s at Troy Town School in Rochester, part-funded by the Rochester Riverside Community Board, was completed in time for the start of the new school term last month.

2020 has been a year like no other. The world has been confined to the safety of our homes for the majority of this year. Looking back, it would be unimaginable to think we would spend the beginning of a new decade in such a way.

We are proud to have been shortlisted for four coveted award categories at this year’s First Time Buyer Awards. The awards recognise developments and homes that uphold the values that first-time buyers across the UK value when looking for their first home and we are extremely pleased to be acknowledged for our work.

Beam Park, the £1bn regeneration scheme in Rainham, Essex that is being delivered by Countryside and L&Q, has been recognised in two categories in the Planning Awards 2020. The development won the ‘Best Use of Publicly-Owned Land’ category and was Highly Commended for ‘Planning Permission of the Year’.

Countryside has received two awards at the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s (CCS) National Site Awards 2020.
