It is considered that the effectiveness of policy BE1 is undermined through lack of a direct reference to 'Secured by Design'. The omission is surprising, given that paragraph 5.9 of the supporting Explanation does reference Secured by Design.
Policy support for Secured by Design would help to ensure new developments comply with a nationally recognised consistent standard. This in turn would mean they would contribute to the achievement of the Government's objectives for the planning system set out in paragraphs 58 and 69 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
In case the Council and Inspector are not aware, Secured by Design is a long-running flagship initiative of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). Its objective is to design out crime during the planning process. It is a respected standard in the sector, supported by numerous local authorities (including Warwick District Council) and professional bodies and is therefore, a vital guidance resource for planners.
