Community Design Review Panel
Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in January 2024, states: ‘Community Design Review Panels (CDRP) or Community Review Panels (CRP) are often affiliated with a local planning authority and offer insights and guidance during the initial pre-application phases of a project. CDRP consists of a group of a diverse range of local volunteers from a demographic and geographic area who have no experience in built environment issues, chaired by an engagement expert. They are not project-specific steering groups. Training may be required for some members to help them read plans and documents.’
