Policy information sourced from Camden Local Plan
C5 Safety and Security
The Council will aim to make Camden a safer place.
We will:
- work with our partners including the Camden Community Safety Partnership to tackle crime, fear of crime and antisocial behaviour;
- require developments to demonstrate that they have incorporated design principles which contribute to community safety and security, particularly in wards with relatively high levels of crime, such as Holborn and Covent Garden, Camden Town with Primrose Hill and Bloomsbury;
- require appropriate security and community safety measures in buildings, spaces and the transport system;
- promote safer streets and public areas;
- address the cumulative impact of food, drink and entertainment uses, particularly in Camden Town, Central London and other centres and ensure Camden’s businesses and organisations providing food, drink and entertainment uses take responsibility for reducing the opportunities for crime through effective management and design; and
- promote the development of pedestrian friendly spaces.
Where a development has been identified as being potentially vulnerable to terrorism, the Council will expect counter-terrorism measures to be incorporated into the design of buildings and associated public areas to increase security
