Guide For Presenters

What pre review material is required?

  • The pre-review material, submitted two weeks in advance, will ensure that the chair and the lead panellist are familiar with the proposals and will have briefed the rest of the Panel. The presentation therefore should concentrate on the detailed design of the proposed scheme and the key issues that remain to be resolved.

  • The materials used to describe the project should be hard copy graphics, including plans, sections and elevations. A design statement or summary of design principles is particularly useful in 'setting the scene'and outlining the basic approach.

  • The Panel will expect a contextual and site analysis, and a site-specific sustainability strategy which sets out the aspirations and commitments.

  • A focussed and brief PowerPoint presentation is acceptable only in conjunction with hard copy. Animations and 'fly-throughs' are not acceptable.
