A very interesting idea. After all, CABE invites local planning authorities to attend design review meetings and to speak. From a practical point of view, it would further add to the design review panel's burden, partly by introducing evening shifts, but also requiring time to assess which projects to speak on, assuming invitations were forthcoming. One for discussion.rnYou could say the same aboutrnIgloo, but that would be unfair. I think it is also unfair about CABE. New organisations doing good work make a disproportionate splash; it is inevitable that repetition of activity makes them seem more routine. In fact, CABE has been quietly influential recentlyrnon minimum school design standards, Olympic design and the government's World Class Places programme. The trouble is that perceptions, even if they are off the mark, are still perceptions.
