Many local authorities are faced with the challenge of securing design quality without the necessary in-house capacity.
Facing this challenge, and an increasing number of applications, often in sensitive contexts, Gravesham Borough Council appointed Design South East to deliver design advice on small-medium sized applications through monthly design surgeries.
Recently renewed, the arrangement provides for one member of the Design South East team and one member of our design panel to prepare for and advise case officers on up four schemes in a single session.
