DM 3.2 Security Measures in New Developments and Around Existing Buildings

To ensure that security measures are included in new developments, applied to existing buildings and their curtilage, by requiring:

building-related security measures, including those related to the servicing of the building, to be located within the development’s boundaries;
measures to be integrated with those of adjacent buildings and the public realm;
that security is considered at the concept design or early developed design phases of all development proposals to avoid the need to retro-fit measures that impact on the public realm;
developers to seek recommendations from the City of London Police Architectural Liaison Officer at the design stage. New development should meet Secured by Design principles;
the provision of service management plans for all large development, demonstrating that vehicles seeking access to the building can do so without waiting on the public highway;
an assessment of the environmental impact of security measures, particularly addressing visual impact and impact on pedestrian flows.
