Planning > Oxford Preservation Trust Awards
Oxford Preservation Trust's aim is to preserve and enhance the historic city of Oxford and its green setting, and the Trust’s annual Awards scheme recognises projects which have made a significant contribution to the conservation and improvement of the built or natural environment of Oxford and its green setting. Projects are judged on the contribution they make to Oxford and/or its green setting in Oxford or its Green Belt (including Abingdon) in the following categories:
- Building conservation
- Environment / Landscape enhancement
- New buildings
- Small projects
- Community Projects - recognising the importance of the interaction between a project and the community in which it sits
All entries are judged by an Awards Panel who have wide expertise and knowledge of the City and its countryside.
Nominations are now invited for the 2012 Awards. Please download the attached Word or PDF file, and covering letter (PDF) or contact the Office for a hard copy.
