Discussion Paper section
7. Delivery of Development
Are there any topics or issues that you think we have missed or that you wish to raise?
The Constabulary welcomes the opportunity to comment on this consultation.
Whilst I am not qualified to comment on most of the aspects of this consultation, I merely wish to raise the issue of new development being resistant to crime and anti-social activity, thereby contributing to the sustainability and well-being of small communities within the AONB (Special characteristics Item 1.3 'Strong community and culture' 'A sense of tranquility, space and place').
Accordingly, I seek the Council's support in encouraging developers to achieve Secured by Design accreditation, particularly in new housing and business/employment development.
