Expanding high quality design

The Urban Task Force and the creation of Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in the late 90's encouraged authorities to formalise and expand the role of design within the development control process. 

Advice from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) Planning Policy Statement PPS1 has further advanced the importance of securing high quality sustainable design. 

In response, the Southwark Design Review Panel (DRP) was established in February 2006. Since that time the panel has reviewed more than 60 development proposals ranging from a small innovative community church to large scale mixed use developments.
