Brent Council
I am a member of the Brent Design review panel, also coordinated by Frame Projects. I am one of 20 panel members that advise on the design of a diverse range of schemes which includes housing as well as public realm and educational institutions. Brent Council established the design panel to ensure that future development schemes were of highest design quality and responded to needs of the local communities. The scheme illustrated is the College of Northwest London, designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects situated on Olympic Way in Wembley, the scheme was reviewed by the panel and recently was granted planning approval.
