Design Panel Members | Hounslow London
Hounslow Design Review Panel Refresh 2024 – call for new members
Role Type: Ad hoc/flexible/fixed term
Salary: £480 per day/ £240 half day
Location: London/Hounslow/online
The London Borough of Hounslow is refreshing its in-house Design Review Panel. We wish to broaden the panel's diversity and expertise and are looking for experts who live or work in the area while continuing to grow our Social Impact.
Hounslow is an outer London borough with many distinctive places forming a microcosm of London’s diversity. Over 45% of its population were born abroad, and over 140 languages are spoken. Stretching from historic tree-lined streets in Chiswick in the east to the hinterlands of London’s busiest airport and the M25 at its western edge, it is a place full of contrasts. It contains a network of bustling town centres and neighbourhoods with unique characters, vibrancy, and identity.
Two key goals drive our work:
Housing Need: Site optimisation must be balanced with other considerations to respond to development pressures and meet the borough’s housing needs.
Climate Emergency: The Council declared a Climate Emergency in 2019 and is keen to encourage well-designed, sustainable, context-driven Good Growth.
Your knowledge and skills will help the Design Review Panel help Hounslow achieve these goals.
