The local plan 2040 looks sound to us. However, is it possible to have the following paragraph included somewhere? I suppose we come under Theme 4: Better Places but we will leave it to your discretion.


Bedfordshire Police Designing Out Crime Officers provide ongoing specialist advice on the security of new buildings and the refurbishments of existing ones to enable designs to be as safe and secure as reasonably possible, raising awareness of the principles of CPTED (crime prevention through environmental design) as well as generating awareness of, and ensuring the adoption of, recommended security standards and specifications.
We are keen to work with designers and developers at the earliest opportunity of a planning proposal and seek to encourage them to consider applying for Secured By Design developers award.
