CIVIC/COMMUNITY Buildings within this character area are predominantly two storeys with varying floor to ceiling heights. Most of the later infill in the character area respects this. COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL Buildings within this area are characteristically two-storey and of a domestic scale. There are some taller buildings to the northern end of North Street (hotel and commercial block) which reflects more recent denser infill development.

Safer Places: The Planning System and Crime, ODPM, April 2004 ACCESS AND MOVEMENT 1 Have the consequences of the number and nature of all connections been considered? 2 Do all routes lead to somewhere people want to go? Are all routes necessary? 3 Do routes provide potential offenders with ready and unnoticed access to potential targets? 4 Are routes for different users segregated when they could be integrated? 5 Will pedestrians, cyclists and drivers be able to understand which routes they should use? 6 Is it easy to understand how to travel through an area? STRUCTURE 1 Have the types of building been selected and designed with security in mind? 2 Is the layout of the development appropriate for the identified crime risk, as well as to meet wider planning objectives? 3 Will all uses in an area be compatible and have potential conflicts been thoroughly thought through? 4 Does all public space serve a purpose and support an appropriate level of legitimate activity? 5 Has the remodelling, removal or re-use of buildings and spaces that are vulnerable to crime been considered? 6 Have the potential benefits for crime prevention of restoring historic environments been considered? SURVEILLANCE 1 Are opportunities for surveillance from the subject and adjacent buildings maximised? 2 Will those most likely to observe any criminal or anti-social behaviour respond appropriately? 3 Are both of the above true at all times of the day, week and year? 4 Have efforts been made to eliminate ‘inactive’ frontages and corners? 5 Where appropriate, such as in public buildings, does the design allow for high visibility into the building or site? 6 Are parked cars highly visible but secure? 7 Has lighting been a primary consideration in planning out crime? 8 Is the standard of lighting and its maintenance regime adequate and is it resistant to vandalism and damage? Is it well-designed and well-sited? 9 Is CCTV the best way to solve the particular problem and is it the most effective use of resources? 10 Is the CCTV part of a wider package of crime prevention measures? 11 Will the resources be in place to maintain the CCTV system, including staff to monitor and respond to the pictures, in future years? OWNERSHIP S W O R D S M A S T E R P L A N Appendix 2 Summary of Checklists 1 Will it be clear to users – including potential offenders and capable guardians – which space is public, communal, semi-private and private? 2 Are the boundaries between public, communal and private space signified in the most appropriate manner, be it a physical barrier or a psychological barriers such as changes in paving, surface texture/colour, landscaping and signage? 3 Will the place have an identity of its own? 4 Are all those who should feel ownership involved in defining the place’s identity? 5 Are barriers of a high quality of design in their detailing and appropriate to their local context? 1 2 1 PHYSICAL PROTECTION 1 Have the ‘target hardening’ principles of Secured by Design been addressed? 2 Has the potentially negative visual impact of crime prevention measures been addressed and, where these cannot be ameliorated by good design, have the advantages been weighed against their adverse impacts? ACTIVITY 1 Will as many law abiding people as possible be attracted to use the public realm? 2 Is there a strategy for encouraging residential population in town centres? 3 Should the evening economy be nurtured, and, if so, is it diverse and inclusive? 4 Are mixed uses successfully integrated with one another? 5 Are all uses in an area compatible and have potential conflicts been thoroughly addressed? 6 Will what attracts people to the public realm uphold its attractiveness?
