SQ9 Crime and Disorder

Development proposals for 10 or more dwellings or for commercial developments of more than 1,000 sq m will only be permitted if they can demonstrate how the design and layout will deter crime, and reduce the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour and that, where appropriate, measures such as the provision of on or off-site CCTV have been considered.

In areas where there is a concentration of night time economy uses such as bars, restaurants, cinemas, clubs, dance halls and hot food takeaways, development proposals will only be permitted where they can demonstrate that there will be no harm to the safety and security, or perceptions of safety and security, of people and property in that location, and that suitable measures will be in place to manage crime and antisocial behaviour.
