Remote Desktop
Design Review Panel Sessions
A remote desktop design review can be provided, allowing projects that have already undergone a full review to benefit from follow-up feedback from the design review panel.
These sessions are not appropriate for initial reviews as they are a paper/desktop-based process and do not include a site visit (either in-person or virtual), nor do they allow for any presentation to, or discussion with, the Panel.

Having selected a session & entered the relevant details into the booking system, you will receive an automatically generated email, provisionally reserving the service selected.

The Design Review Panel™ provides remote desktop design review services. This service is ideal for projects that have already undergone one or more design review panel sessions, incorporating a meeting/discussion, and require confirmation that the feedback given by the Panel in previous sessions has been appropriately responded to.
Having carried out a remote desktop design review for a proposed Paragraph 79e (now 80e) house in Kent at the end of 2018, Rob Hughes (Planning Consultant at Hughes Planning) said the following:-
"We are delighted to have secured permission for our 14th Para 80e house approval in June 2019. At the request of Dover District Council, we approached The Design Review Panel to undertake an independent review of our scheme and in the light of the positive comments that were received, this provided the necessary confidence and assurance to the Local Planning Authority that the proposals met the 'high bar' set by Para 80(e) of the National Planning Policy Framework. We would like to thank the Panel for their invaluable role in assisting the design team in achieving approval for a fabulous scheme."
