Designing out crime through London’s planning system - Planning and Regeneration Committee
Channel: London Assembly
Date: 2024-01-30

Whilst there is no statutory legislation for the police to be involved in the planning process, for large scale developments the police can provide advice regarding safety in design.

This guidance could lead to car parking and private areas being well lit, safety of public areas, secure and climb resistant fencing, and avoiding unnecessary alleyways.

In this meeting, the London Assembly Planning and Regeneration Committee investigate the role of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in the design of London’s communities, and the impact their role has in safety design.

Guests in the meeting include:

Panel 1:
- Sergeant David Lucy, Designing out Crime Officer, MPS
- Guy Ferguson, Director/Chief Executive Officer, Police Crime Prevention
- Phineas Harper, Chief Executive, Open City
- Elanor Warwick, Author, Defensible Space on the Move: Mobilisation in English Housing Policy and Practice
- Russell Curtis, Cofounder and architect, RCKa

Panel 2:
- Jules Pipe, Deputy Mayor for Planning, Regeneration and Skills
- Lisa Fairmaner, Head of London Plan and Growth Strategies, Greater London Authority
