Respondent: Hertfordshire Constabulary - Architectural Liaison

7.9.6 {NEW} Police services are provided through the Office of The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire and contribute to the overall well – being of local communities. Police infrastructure comprises fixed property and technology assets; and human resources, which includes Local Community Policing, victim support, and crime reduction initiatives such as use of CCTV. These can arise either locally, or as a result of cross – boundary considerations where scale and efficiency of operation require policing facilities to be located outwith the boundaries of the local authority.

The Council will therefore require development, where required and appropriate, to contribute towards the delivery of policing infrastructure to serve new developments and mitigate against their impact upon existing police resources.


7.9.6.1 - To assist with the proper design of new communities, and in addition to the wider range of policing infrastructure, HC are able to advise on design. This is in line with Local Plan Policy D1 Sustainable Design, and applicants should demonstrate that opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour have been designed-out. Hertfordshire Constabulary will be consulted on planning applications where it is considered that there may be an impact in terms of community safety.
