Occupying a strategic position in the south east of the capital, Bromley is London’s largest borough, known for the high quality of its living, working, historic and natural environments. Bromley values its distinctive neighbourhoods, ranging from rural to suburban and urban. Over half the borough comprises open countryside, protected by the Green Belt, with the majority of the population concentrated in the north.

Bromley’s historical development has played an important part in establishing its character, which is reflected in 47 conservation areas and a significant number of statutory and locally listed buildings, which along with high quality new development contributes to civic pride and wellbeing. The overriding vision for Bromley is to support opportunities for sustainable growth while ensuring that the existing character and identity is enhanced and retained, to create ‘a fantastic place to live and work, where everyone can lead healthy, safe and independent lives’.

The Bromley Design Review Panel is chaired by Andrew Beharrell, Senior Advisor at Pollard Thomas Edwards. Anna Mansfield, Director at Publica, is the panel's vice chair.
