Simon Henley has been appointed co-chair of the Oxford Street Planning Quality Review Panel, alongside AHMM’s Paul Monaghan.
The panel brings together specialists in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, environmental sustainability, inclusive design, culture, economic viability, and development delivery.

The group's independent, expert advice will help ensure new development across the Mayoral Development Area delivers exemplary high-quality and sustainable design. The panel will provide strategic focus and long-term evaluation of proposals to encourage new investment and job-creation, driving growth and economic prosperity, creating a world class destination and reaffirming Oxford Street as the nation's favourite high street.
Simon said: “This panel brings together an exceptional breadth of expertise and shared commitment to design quality. We have a real opportunity to shape a part of London that reflects the very best of contemporary thinking about places that are sustainable, inclusive and rooted in their context. I am excited to work collaboratively to support ambitious, thoughtful development across the area.”
