DSE has recently completed a refresh and expansion of its main expert panel. The panel provides expert advisors for our design reviews throughout London, the South East and East Anglia as well as helping us with workshops, charrettes, training and other events.  To meet the growing demand for our design review and other services we have expanded our panel from 88 to 129 members.

We received a huge number of applications to join the panel from leading built environment practitioners who want to show their commitment to built environment quality by giving advice to developers, design teams and local authorities throughout the DSE area. We are pleased to be able to appoint some big names in the industry as well as some rising talent. With this recruitment, we have strengthened our capacity is the fields of transport, highways and the public realm as well as recruiting more landscape architects. We have also taken the opportunity to improve the gender balance on our panel although we recognise we still have some way to go.

To book our panel for a design review or to discuss how we can help with workshops or training phone 01634 401166 or email David Tittle, Head of Design Advice: david@designsoutheast.org

In the coming weeks, we will be working with our local authority partners to refresh most of our local panels.
