Our East Common Lane development wins LABC Building Excellence award

East Common Lane

We have been named a regional winner at the LABC Building Excellence Awards 2025, in recognition of our development of 28 bungalows on East Common Lane, Scunthorpe.

These award-winning homes mark the final phase of our investment of the former Brumby Resource Centre site, delivering high-quality, accessible homes in the area.

The development was praised for its thoughtful and sustainable design, which respected the site’s blanket Tree Preservation Order and enhanced the natural environment. It connects seamlessly to earlier complete Poplar Tree Avenue, extending the established building line and transforming the look of the area.

Several homes were built to M4(3) accessibility standards, meaning they are fully adaptable for wheelchair users, and the layout was developed in line with Secured by Design principles to promote safety and community wellbeing.

Bungalows are in increasingly high demand by older residents, those with mobility needs, and people looking to downsize, yet they remain in short supply.

Martin Phillips, Head of Development & Sales, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the team for this achievement. Winning a regional LABC award is a fantastic recognition of the hard work and dedication that went into this development.

“This is just one of many sites we’ve completed this year — 2025 has been our biggest year of growth yet, and this award is a brilliant way to celebrate that success.

“It’s especially rewarding to deliver a full site of this kind of affordable home, which are so needed in our communities.”

The project was shaped through community consultation and collaboration with stakeholders including key contractors GS Kelsey and BSB Architecture. It has already received praise from residents, along with a visit from Nic Dakin, MP for Scunthorpe to see the impact of the new homes first hand.

We will now go forward to the national finals, with the awards ceremony taking place on Friday 23 January 2026 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
