Crest Nicholson Regeneration’s Harbourside scheme in Bristol (above) has achieved the Building for Life gold standard for the overall quality of life the development offers. Building for Life is led by CABE and HBF. Judged against 20 criteria, Harbourside was tested on issues such as contribution to the environment and community, character, streets, parking, pedestrianisation and design and construction. To gain a gold standard the development needed to score 16 points out of 20. Out of 117 housing developments entering the scheme this year across the UK, 12 achieved the gold standard. <br>
