DM 3.3 Crowded places

On all major developments, applicants will be required to satisfy principles and standards that address the issues of crowded places and counter-terrorism, by:

  • conducting a full risk assessment;
  • keeping access points to the development to a minimum;
  • ensuring that public realm and pedestrian permeability associated with a building or site is not adversely impacted, and that design considers the application of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation measures at an early stage;
  • ensuring early consultation with the City of London Police on risk mitigation measures;
  • providing necessary measures that relate to the appropriate level of crowding in a site, place or wider area.
