Great news for the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community project! The DPD has won Best Plan at the RTPI East of England Awards for Planning Excellence 2026. A fantastic recognition of the vision, collaboration and technical work led by Tendring District Council, Colchester City Council and Essex County Council. Hyas Associates is proud to have supported the preparation of this important plan guiding the long‑term delivery of a sustainable new community. Huge congratula

Day 1 – Bath team away Every year we take a couple of days out as a team to visit places, learn from live projects, and spend some time together outside the office. This year we headed to Bath. We started at Mulberry Park, looking at how the early visioning and masterplanning has taken shape on the ground, from the neighbourhood layout to the community hub and wider public realm. Lots of good discussion about delivery, stewardship and what makes these places work in practice.
