Architecture Appraisal Panel
To assist us in protecting the architectural heritage of the
area, we have a special Architecture Appraisal Panel which meets
regularly to consider and advise upon major development proposals
in the area. The members of this panel are distinguished and
experienced professionals with a wealth of knowledge about the
area.
The remit of the Architecture Appraisal Panel is to:
- evaluate and advise on the architectural and urban design
merits of key development proposals, streetscape and other public
realm projects and Supplementary Planning Documents involving
design matters
- promote and publicise high quality architecture and urban
design in the Royal Borough, and
- make representations to the Planning Inspectorate where
necessary.
The panel has been meeting on a monthly basis since March 2008
and comments on development proposals, some at pre-application
stage and others after the application has been submitted. There is
a pool of 24 panel members of whom 6-8 attend each
meeting.
The Panel is invaluable to both Council Members and Officers in
‘raising the bar’ in achieving quality contemporary architecture in
the Royal Borough.
