Design Review Panel A Guide for Applicants & Designers

Written Feedback After the design review panel session, a written feedback document will be issued summarising the views of the Panel. As a guide we aim to email out the feedback document within 1 4 working days. If you need the feedback earlier, to meet a planning or funding deadline, we will do our best to oblige, but subject to being given advanced notice at the time of making the booking. Our Feedback documents are a clear and concise written summary that may also include suggestions and recommendations. The feedback document also incorporates a bullet point summary for easy reference. The aim of the feedback is to assist and encourage developers/advisors in achieving better quality development proposals. In the case of live planning applications, The Design Review Panels feedback document may become a public document and should be considered as a material planning consideration. We are happy to amend a feedback document to correct any factual errors, however, we cannot change the suggestions or opinions contained in the report. Responding to the review Please consider each point made in the design review report. It may be helpful to annotate in your final design and access statement how you have responded to each point. This will demonstrate your commitment to design quality by showing you have positively engaged with The D esign R eview Panel. Remember that the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) gives the opinions of design review panels weight in planning decisions. Where design review opinion differs from that of statutory consultees it is important to remember that in most cases the advice of statutory consultees is not mandatory.
