Brighton & Hove City Council is facing a major challenge to accommodate growth without compromising the city’s unique quality and character.
To help the city address this challenge, we deliver independent design reviews for the council as part of the pre-application process, together with parallel programme events to promote the design conversation in the city.
The service is available on all pre-application submissions for all schemes in the city. Major schemes are reviewed through half or full day sessions with a full panel and non-majors are reviewed as part of a design surgery. Depending on their size and complexity, smaller major schemes may also be reviewed at a design surgery.
Clear, consistent advice is delivered by a diverse, 27 strong multidisciplinary expert panel recruited through an open, transparent process.
