Description:

By popular demand, we are pleased to be holding a Design Review Panel CPD/Guidance day, aimed at design team members, local authority planning officers and applicants/scheme promoters.

Design Review Panel feedback is a material consideration in the Planning process. Paragraph 62 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states:-

"Local planning authorities should have local design review arrangements in place to provide assessment and support to ensure high standards of design ... In assessing applications, local planning authorities should have regard to the recommendations from the design review panel."

The Design Review Panel was launched in 2013 upon the invitation of a group of local authorities to provide impartial, independent, multidisciplinary and expert peer review to design teams, applicants and local authorities.

The morning will include presentations from Andy Robbins (Exeter City Council, Service Lead City Development) and Elaine Olphert (Architect of Redrow SW, previously of Persimmon Homes). These presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.

The afternoon will include a mock design review panel session/workshop, presented by Tony Pollintine (Grange Architects) and Andy Robbins (Exeter City Council) including a site visit, which delegates will be encouraged to undertake over lunch.

Refreshments and opportunities to mingle will be provided throughout. The day will conclude with afternoon festive drinks, mulled wine/ mulled fruit juice served along with mince pies and sausage rolls.
