The Barking and Dagenham Quality Review Panel has been established in recognition of the joint commitment made by council members and officers to achieve the highest possible quality of development. The panel aims to improve the quality of buildings and places for the benefit of the public.

The panel is made up of 26 independent experts working at the highest level in the fields of architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, heritage, environmental sustainability, industrial development and community engagement.

The Quality Review Panel provides independent, objective, expert advice on development proposals across Barking and Dagenham. The panel is provided by Frame Projects and is funded independently of the Council.

Applicants are referred to the panel by Planning Officers during the pre-application process and fees are paid to Frame Projects by the applicant.
