Design review panel

The design review panel includes architects and designers with a lot of design expertise. They offer expert, independent advice covering all parts of design and development.

The panel meets monthly. It reviews many important development proposals in Southwark. Applicants present development proposals to the panel. The panel then makes a report of their comments. They pass it to planning officers for consideration. This can sway decisions on planning applications.
