Finch is a former chair of Cabe鈥檚 design review panel, and will succeed outgoing chairperson Sir John Sorrell in December.

Ben Bradshaw, the culture minister, said: 鈥淚鈥檇 like to congratulate Paul Finch who brings a wealth of experience and a formidable understanding of the world of architecture and the built environment to the role. I look forward to working with him. I would also like to thank the outgoing Chair Sir John Sorrell under whose assured leadership Cabe has gone from strength to strength.

Finch commented: 鈥淚 am delighted to be rejoining Cabe, especially given its increasingly important role in promoting quality of architecture and place-making. I look forward to working with commissioners and the wider built environment community in the common cause of creating decent places to live, work and play.鈥�
