Full Description
With hundreds of thousands of planning applications received every year, the need for a simple approach to appraising design quality has never been greater. Through a series of steps, Qualityreviewer helps planners, councillors and other decision-makers to think about the quality of development of all types.
Qualityreviewer enables decision-makers to appreciate the context, appraise the proposal, understand the implementation and take the right decision. It provides new skills for anyone who is committed to raising standards of design quality.
