Security Consultancy for Planning Applications & Developments (UK)
Expert security risk assessments, security design advice, and planning support to help your development achieve approval and long-term safety.
Planning applications are increasingly challenged on security and crime prevention grounds. At Plansec Consultants LLP, we provide specialist security consultancy for planning applications, helping architects, developers and planning professionals meet requirements and avoid costly delays.
Our services include:
- Security risk assessments for planning
- Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED)
- Planning security statements and support
We help you design safer developments that meet local authority expectations and industry standards from the outset.
WHY SECURITY MATTERS
Security is now a key planning consideration
Changes in legislation around Martyn's Law now requires Local Authorities to expect many developments to demonstrate how crime risks have been addressed.
Failure to do so can result in:
- Planning objections or delays
- Additional redesign costs
- Increased long-term risk
Our consultancy ensures your development:
- Aligns with CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles
- Meets local planning and crime prevention requirements
- Achieves safer, more sustainable outcomes
