A DALES holiday development has scooped its second award within a year.

The Holiday Property Bond's Lodge Yard scheme, in Askrigg, has been singled out for praise in the Civic Trust Awards, where it was described as an outstanding example of architectural and environmental design in the countryside.

In October, it was a development within the 19th Century racing and stable yard, which won the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors regeneration award.

The company's managing director, Geoffrey Baber, said: "This latest accolade further endorses our decision to create a substantial and viable development in a national park, while retaining and enhancing the character of the buildings, rich in architectural heritage."
