| 15. | In aiming to satisfy any Secured by Design conditions, the applicant should seek the advice of the Police Designing Out Crime Officers (DOCOs) who are available free of and can be contacted via docomailbox.ne@ met.police.uk.
you are also advised to take the following (DOCOs) recommendations for security purposes;
Main Communal Entrance - Given the local crime activities and the intended residency we recommend that the front door set (and the adjoining fixed window), meet a minimum standard of PAS 24:2016 and access should be controlled as specified below.
Access Control - Due to the high likelihood of residents not returning keys or getting additional keys cut for future unlawful use, we recommend the instillation of an electronic release audio access control system at the communal entrances. Electric fob keys can be easily activated or deactivated remotely, adding to the safety and security of the residents.
Visitor Access - We recommend that an audio entry system for visitor access is located at the communal entrances, with accompanying access control connected fixed audio handsets located within each of the bedroom unit.
iv. Residential Front Doors - Individual residential front doors allowing direct access to the individual bedrooms should meet a minimum standard of PAS 24:2016.
Consideration should also be given to dual fire and security certification if required, as further explained below.
Fire & PAS 24 Doors - If the residential doors are required to be fire rated doors, we recommend dual certified fire and PAS 24 doors and strongly advise that independent third party certification is obtained from a manufacturer. This will ensure the fire performance in relation to your needs, and to ensure compliance with both current Building Regulations and the advice issued by the Department for Communities and Local Government on 22nd June 2017 following the Grenfell Tower Fire.
Vi e Lightweight framed walls - Where light framed walls are installed either side of a secure door set, as a partition wall in between two dwellings or adjacent to shared communal space, they should be reinforced to resist intrusion by fitting 9mm timber sheathing, or expanded metal, or one of the systems shown in the Secured by Design Homes Guide (2019). The area around the door set should be secured 600mm for the full height of the door set to restrict access to door hardware.
vii. Accessible Windows & Doors - Ground floor, vulnerable, or easily accessible windows should meet a minimum security standard of PAS 24:2016 and fitted with restrictors. This includes the ground floor rear windows and any door set leading out into the garden area, as well as windows facing out onto the street.
Postal Delivery - Given the vulnerability of HMO residents, we advise against mail being delivered through the communal front doors. Instead, we recommend that individual mailboxes for each resident, tested to T S 009 standard, be mounted to an external surface area close to the communal front entrance.
ix. Drain Pipes - Where located adjacent to opening windows and could be used to facilitate unlawful entry to the properties, they should be replaced with flush fitting rectangular style pipes or relocated to an alternative location where they do not pose such a risk.
x. Lighting - The communal front entrances should be illuminated from dusk until dawn and complement existing public lighting. This facility should also be available, with manual over-ride option, for the rear ground floor doors.
xi. Boundary Fencing - All boundary fence panels should be secured (using brackets or some other physical measure) to ensure that the panels cannot be lifted and be a minimum of 1.8m.
xii. Cycle Storage - There is no mention of cycle storage. I would welcome more information if this type of storage is going to be incorporated into the proposal.
Refuse Stores - Likewise, there is no mention of refuse storage and therefore I would welcome more information. Our preference would be that refuse bins are freestanding and located on a hard standing area. However, if they are to be enclosed they should be located in a robust anti-flammable enclosed structure that is secured with doors that encompasses a key operated split spindle lock that meets BS 3621 standard and has self-closing hinges. If ventilation gaps are present they should be reinforced with robust wire mesh on the inside of the structure, in a gauge that is no wider than 3-5-8 weldmesh.
xiv. Garage - The doors to the garage areas should meet a minimum standard of LPS 1 175:S R1. |
