Qualityreviewer: Appraising the Design Quality of Development Proposals

Document type: | Last updated: 16 AUGUST 2012

Will this planning proposal create a well-designed development? Every year that question is asked of hundreds of thousands of planning applications, ranging from household extensions to new settlements. Each development has the potential to help make a place that is more attractive, more pleasant to live in, more economically successful and a better use of resources.

The role of planners, councillors and others in assessing design is one of the few means of making sure that those opportunities are not lost to narrow interests or short-term expediency. But too often those who are in a position to raise standards suffer from a lack of time, resources or skills. Qualityreviewer provides them with a method of design appraisal that can be used for all types of development.

Qualityreviewer provides new skills for planners, councillors, regeneration professionals, students and anyone else who is committed to raising standards of design quality.
