The New Crime Impact Statement

Design for Security have now released their new and enhanced 2010 Crime Impact Statement (CIS).

Following the award-winning success of the previous CIS, the new version delivers:

• A graphical overhaul, with greater readability
• Even more detailed crime analysis
• Traffic-light style executive summaries, amongst many other subtle changes.

The previous structure of 'Part A' and 'Part B' has also changed.

Where a Crime Impact Statement is required by the local authority for an outline application (where layout is not to be considered), we will provide you with a 'Crime Impact Statement: Preliminary' report. This will provide your design team with the necessary contextual crime information and site-specific design considerations in order to start to develop your layout and appearance.

Subsequent reserved matters applications where layout is to be considered will require the 'Preliminary' report to be expanded to a full Crime Impact Statement. If layout is to be considered as part of your outline application, then it will require a full Crime Impact Statement. All full applications will require a full Crime Impact Statement.
