Crime Impact Statements should be incorporated into a Design & Access Statement (if required), or else provided as a short-written report.

Crime Impact Statements should include information on crime and disorder issues in the vicinity of the site, assess the likely impact of the proposal, and, where relevant, suggest measures to reduce the vulnerability of the development to crime.

Developers should consider applying for Secured By Design accreditation. Secured By Design focuses on crime prevention at the design, layout and construction stages of developments and promotes the use of security standards for a wide range of applications and products.
