The Design Review Panel Delivery Moves Online

Updated: Apr 29, 2020

We know it is a very challenging time for everyone and we are continuing to support applicants, design teams and local authorities.


Sessions are now being carried out using video conferencing, and should be booked using our online booking system in the usual way.  


We are continuing to offer a range of session options at different price points including:-



In light of Government advice, we are not currently offering 'in person' face to face meetings. Click on the image below to see a short (3 minute) film on how this works ...


We recognise that this is a different approach to how we have delivered our services in the past. However delivering our services online can offer opportunities, in terms of reduced travel time for all involved and reduced environmental impact. We already make extensive use of technology and have experience of online service delivery. If you have any queries or would like to discuss our new approach to design review panel sessions then contact us here.



Site visits are still being carried out but these are now being done using high resolution 360 panoramic photographic site tours. This enables those taking part in a design review panel session to still experience the site in an immersive way, whilst maintaining social distancing. For more information on our 360 Virtual Site Visits click here.


Other ways in which we are helping to support our peers whilst having to maintain social distancing is by continuing to provide high quality training and CPD. Full length films of our past speakers training presentations can be viewed on the 'Training' page of our website. These are available to watch online for only £9.95 each. We are continuing to produce more training films, which will be published on our website later this year. Our existing range of training presentations offers a valuable learning resource for fellow construction industry professionals, without the need to attend conferences or group CPD events. Current training films available to purchase and watch online are:-



Over the coming months, we look forward to working with you when developing the best approaches and technology solutions to delivering our services.


We are taking Coronavirus very seriously and following the Public Health England advice about the virus which is published here. This website contains advice about how to protect yourself and others and we would encourage everyone to look at this information and follow the advice.
