Question 4 re. planning for the diverse needs of all sections of local communities
Representation ID: 18962
Received: 22/02/2007
Respondent: Sussex Police
Government places great emphasis on the importance of crime prevention in both PPS1 and 'Safer Places’.
S17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 imposes an obligation on local authorities to “exercise their various functions with due regard to the likely effect on the prevention of crime and disorderâ€.
Rother has an excellent record of liaising with the Police. The document would be improved by stating “The authority supports the policy scheme ‾Secured by Design’. Planning applications will be expected to demonstrate how crime prevention has been considered and how the principles detailed in Safer Places have been adhered toâ€.
