"Given the context and unique geography of the Lake District National Park, an innovative tailored approach was taken to formulating the Design Code. Leading in practice is further demonstrated through trailblazing peer-to-peer sessions with other Pathfinders by sharing their knowledge and strategies for overcoming challenges. This sharing knowledge has continued post adoption with the focus now being on implementation and monitoring of the code.  The Design Code was clearly a product of effective leadership and partnership working, which kept the overall vision and objectives of the project central throughout development of the document and delivered the project largely on time. The Judges were also very impressed with the comprehensive and constructive engagement that was delivered throughout the drafting and adoption of the Design Code."
