Security Risk Assessments for Planning Applications (UK)
Supporting Planning Approval Through Expert Security Risk Assessment
A security risk assessment for planning applications identifies crime risks, vulnerabilities and mitigation measures at an early stage of development. Increasingly, local authorities and planning officers expect developments to demonstrate how security has been addressed in line with crime prevention and Secure by Design principles.
At Plansec Consultants LLP, we provide professional risk assessments that strengthen your planning application and reduce the likelihood of objections, delays or redesign.
What Our Security Risk Assessments Cover
Our assessments are tailored to each development and include:
- Analysis of local crime data and trends
- Identification of site-specific risks and vulnerabilities
- Review of layout, access, and environmental design
- Recommendations aligned with CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design)
- Practical, proportionate mitigation measures
- Documentation suitable for planning submission
