Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "We're thrilled Diglis Water has won this prestigious award, which recognises the success of the revitalisation of this prime waterside location and in building new homes and apartments in Worcester.

"The award demonstrates our commitment to urban regeneration, turning what had become a derelict industrial site into an exciting new community and providing high-quality new homes to buy in Worcester, which are affordable to buyers in a range of circumstances, along with a host of public facilities."

Diglis Water comprises 451 new homes together with retail and commercial units, recreation space and public infrastructure, including a Waterfront Park, a health and fitness centre, public car parking, mooring opportunities, a new relief road and a refurbished footbridge over the river basin.
