Design Review is a respected method of improving the quality of new development by offering constructive, impartial and expert advice. Design Review panel meetings allow local authorities, clients, developers and design teams to present their schemes at the pre-planning stage to a panel of experts from the built environment sector and benefit from the discussion and constructive advice of the panel.

Places Matter! Design Review consists of a panel of 41 respected built environment professionals providing expertise from a range of fields including: Architecture, Engineering, Regeneration, Planning, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Public Art and Sustainability.

The Places Matter! Design Review Panel, along with other design review services around the country, is affiliated with CABE the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, forming a national network of design review panels, providing local planning authorities with access to independant practical design advice.

We would like to encourage you to take part in the process by either bringing forward schemes which may benefit from Design Review or attending as observer at one of our sessions, to experience the process for yourself and consider whether the service may become a useful tool as part of a wider consultation process for projects in your area.
