Design review panel
The importance of high quality urban and architectural design in
creating attractive and successful places has been recognised in
Peterborough by the formal setting up of a Design Review Panel in
June 2009. The function of the Panel is to review significant and
important development projects as they emerge and to provide
independent, expert, advice to developers, officers and
Members.
Early in the planning of a new building or a modification of one
in a sensitive location, applicants will be encouraged to submit
their schemes for a peer review. This will be carried out by a
select panel of architects, designers, engineers and people with
passion to achieve good design appropriately located in the City.
The Panel will convene periodically throughout the year and
consider schemes with developers and their advisers, making an
independent report which will be available to the Planning Service
in making its own report and to the Planning Committee which of
course will be free to make its own decisions.
The Panel is made up of a wide variety of different professions
active in the built environment with a reputation for excellent
design. The Chair of the Panel is John Lyall Managing Director of
John Lyall Architects. The practice has gained a reputation for
successful urban regeneration schemes in Leeds, Cardiff Bay,
Norwich and Ipswich. Such mixed-use schemes have generated
expertise in housing, retail and cultural projects. John
established his reputation as an innovative young architect in the
1980's with a number of landmark projects at home and abroad. John
trained at the Architectural Association; for most of his
professional career he has combined running an award-winning
practice with contributions to the education of architects by
teaching and examining all over the world. Working for Cedric
Price, and for Piano and Rogers lead to his forming the firm of
Alsop and Lyall, from which John Lyall Architects was created in
1991. John Lyall is a registered Client Design Adviser and also
serves on CABE's national Design Review Panel.

preparation of a site planning brief which proposes appropriate
regeneration opportunities for the Peterborough District Hospital
Site.
Consultation has been delayed due to ongoing discussion between
the Council and the landowner and residents will be notified in due
course as to when the consultation will
commence.
