Contributing their expertise, time and energy to ensure the society works effectively and thrives!

Without their help, the amount of work we do to study and protect Scotland’s architecture would be much reduced.

Cases Panels provide excellent learning opportunities for students, particularly as no previous experience is required

Cases Panel Members

Comment on listed building and conservation area applications in one of our volunteer Cases Panels across the country. The Panels support both individuals and local communities to become engaged with the planning process.

Many distinguished architects, architectural and local historians, have served long periods on the Cases Panels and new members have a chance to share their experiences of the built environment, to learn about its history and to shape its future. Cases Panel volunteers gain invaluable practical experience in assessing proposals for historic buildings; whilst also acquiring a wide knowledge of the heritage of historic buildings, of the countryside, towns and villages in which they sit, and the problems which affect them.
