Design Review Panel

Do you want to help shape the way new buildings in Merton look? If you have a background in a range of disciplines relating to the design of buildings and places, why not consider joining our design review panel.  We are currently seeking experienced built-environment professionals to join our Design Review Panel and play an important role in the delivery of high-quality design across Merton. 

Merton has had a Panel since 2007 and has a good and long track record of improving design in the borough.  During this time the Panel has undertaken over 300 reviews on over 200 sites during 18 years of operation. Over 100 of the reviews have advanced to completed buildings, with others on-site, totalling over 3,000 new homes built benefitting from design review. 

This is the first full refresh of our Panel membership and is part of a full update of how our panel works, including payment for Members work.  Now is a great time to join our Panel.

To apply please visit the Merton DRP website at Design Review Panel | Merton Council.  Closing date is 5th June 2025.
