It is most beneficial to include us as early as possible in the design process. This allows crime prevention to be effectively integrated into the overall development.
The Crime Impact Statement (CIS) can be produced from a simple red edge plan, however, if there is any other supporting documentation e.g. concept plans, elevations, 3D visuals, we encourage you to submit them with your CIS application.
Following completion of the CIS we should be notified of any subsequent revisions to the proposals that may impact on the security of the development. For instance, after any changes made following consultation with the local planning authority.
Please complete the application form and submit to Designforsecurity.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Please note:
- Crime Impact Statements may only be issued once full payment has been received. Work will commence as normal on the CIS following receipt of an instruction, and an invoice will be sent to the main point of contact within 3 working days. Once we receive confirmation of cleared payment the CIS will be issued.
- Outline planning applications where layout is not to be considered will require a 'Crime Impact Statement: Preliminary' report, for a fee of £500. Subsequent reserved matters applications where layout is to be considered, or full applications, will require a full Crime Impact Statement. 'Preliminary' reports are invalid for applications where layout is to be considered.
- If we receive an instruction to extend the 'Preliminary' document to a full Crime Impact Statement within 12 months of the 'Preliminary' report being completed, the £500 fee paid for the 'Preliminary' report will be deducted from the cost of the full Crime Impact Statement.
- Please ensure that the invoicing address and contact details you provide are correct. If you are applying on behalf of the party to be invoiced, please check with them to ensure that these details are accurate. If payment cannot be obtained from the invoice details provided, we will seek to recover payment from the instructing agent.
