Design Review Events
The Design Review Panel Swindon - The Launch - 14th July 2016
The launch event was extremely well attended with around 75 delegates reserving a place.
The event included an introduction by Councillor Toby Elliot, Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning, as well as a presentation by Peter Garitsis, Urban Designer / Master Planner at Swindon Borough Council. Peter outlined the ongoing urban design work and regeneration currently taking place in Swindon as well as the exciting future proposals and available opportunities for investment and regeneration.
Against this context, Peter explained how the new Swindon Design Review Panel will be of great benefit to both the local authority and applicants.
This Design Review Panel has initially been established for Swindon Council, although other local authorities are welcome to apply to participate.
The presentation by Peter Garitsis was followed with a presentation by, architect and Panel administrator, Jonathan Braddick on how the new local Swindon Design Review Panel will operate.
Jonathan also welcomed applications from professionals who would like to join the volunteer pool of Panel experts. The presentations were followed by a lively question and answer session, and the evening concluded with a champagne drinks reception.
The event was attended by construction industry professionals from a wide range of professions, planning officers and developers.
The new Panel was extremely well received by all in attendance with the first Panel sessions in Swindon scheduled for September 2016.
