58 Making Places Safer and Designing Out Crime

To improve community safety and cohesion the Council will work with partners to:

A. Minimise opportunities for criminal behaviour by requiring all forms of new development to incorporate Designing out Crime and Secured by Design principles, and requiring all major development to seek to achieve for Secured By Design accreditation via the Secured by Design scheme;

B. Coordinate land uses to minimise the likelihood of an increase in crime and disorder; and

C. Promote safer streets and public realm improvements throughout the borough, where necessary in liaison with the Metropolitan Police Designing Out Crime Officers (DOCOs), Counter Terrorism Security Advisors (CTSAs), Traffic Management Unit (TMU) and with the British Transport Police (BTP).
