Membership

Message from Gary Rice

On behalf of Southwark Council I would like to thank the outgoing members of the Southwark design review panel.

Your participation over the past two years has led to better design outcomes and improvements in the way design is dealt with in the planning system.

This is a tremendously exciting time for architecture and urban design in Southwark, in part, due to your contribution.


Gary Rice
Head of development control

Role of the panel

Southwark's design review panel has 33 members. The pool of experts includes innovative and distinguished architecture and design practitioners. Many of the current members live locally and all have a keen interest in the built environment of Southwark.

The panel meets monthly and reviews a wide range of proposals affecting all areas of Southwark.

While the role of the panel is purely advisory, the panel's comments carry a lot of weight. Any comments from the panel are fed in to planning inspectors and any planning enquiry.
