Booking a venue
The review needs to take place at a venue no more than 20 minutes from the site (preferably less). We ask the scheme promoter to locate and book the venue, but the local authority can sometimes help by hosting the design review panel session a t their offices , or by helping to find a village hall or community centre. The Design Review Panel meeting ...
There are four parts to the design review panel session:- Site visit
i
When a site visit is booked, t he Panel will visit the site with the design team/client and a local authority representative. The aim is to obtain a thorough understanding of the site and the opportunities and challenges it presents. It is useful for the Panel to walk within the site as well as to also view the site from outside of its boundary and get a feel for the wider context. Presentation Once we return to the meeting venue, t he scheme promoter and their design team will be given up to 30 minutes to present their project. This is usually d one using a Powerpoint or PDF presentation using a projector, although sometimes this is done using hard copy presentation boards. Physical models and 3d digital models are also often used and can be very useful presentation tools. Local authority briefing The Chair will ask the local authority to explain the planning context to the project and what they are looking for from the review. This should take no more than 5 - 10 minutes. Questions, discussion and feedback The C hair will as k P anel members to in turn ask questions to clarify any issues with the project presenter(s) and make initial comments . The presenters and the local authority will then be asked to leave the room whilst the Panel discusses the proposals in private. Everyone will then be invited back into the room and the Chair will conclude the meeting with a verbal summary of the Panel's feedback . A written feedback document is provided 1 4 working days following the design review panel session.
