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:-
90 minute sessions on pre-set dates: https://www.designreviewpanel.co.uk/pre-set-dates
2 or 4 hour ad-hoc sessions (with or without a virtual site visit) on other dates can be booked on the following link: https://www.designreviewpanel.co.uk/panelcoverage
Remote desktop reviews (with no meeting) can be booked using the following link: https://www.designreviewpanel.co.uk/remote-desktop-design-review
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:-
Mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain - Ecology in Planning and Placemaking
Local Authority Viewpoint - The importance of good design in the planning
Place Making, Landscape & Urban Design; The Value of Green Infrastructure
The Need for an Independent Design Review Panel, from a Local Authority Viewpoint
Taunton Garden Town; Raising the bar in terms of place-making
