DMHB 15: Planning for Safer Places
The Council will require all new development to ensure safe and attractive public and private spaces by referring to the Council’s latest guidance on Secured by Design principles. Where relevant, these should be included in the Design and Access Statement.
Development will be required to comprise good design and create inclusive environments whilst improving safety and security by incorporating the following specific measures:
- providing entrances in visible, safe and accessible locations;
- maximising natural surveillance;
- ensuring adequate defensible space is provided;
- providing clear delineations between public and private spaces; and
- providing appropriate lighting and CCTV.
