RTPI North East Awards

Steve was delighted to be asked to host the Royal Town Planning Institute North East Awards for Planning Excellence in 2026

Staged at the Crowne Plaza Newcastle, the awards celebrate the very best plans, projects, homes and people shaping communities.

They shine a spotlight on the impact and innovation of planning professionals, by rewarding the difference great planning makes across the UK.

The headline sponsor was EDF Power Solutions UK & Ireland

Steve provided vocals during dinner as well as hosting the awards. There was also entertainment from close up magician Graeme Shaw.

Steve would like to say thank you to RTPI North East Regional Manager Kim Walker
