Estimates suggest that as much as \u00a36,500 per year can be saved by residents and the development has won awards for its energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Metropolitan Police Designing Out Crime Officer Neal Micklewright said: \u201cA good working relationship with the developer helped ensure that all aspects of security were evaluated and addressed constantly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Security was under review throughout the build process and an eagerness to ensure that the site achieved the desired SBD certification meant any issues that arose were resolved without compromise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Security considerations have been assessed throughout this development and I\u2019m really pleased with the final result.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The development\u2019s architect\/developer, said: \u201cWe really wanted to ensure that our building was as secure as possible for our young and first-time buyers. It\u2019s a big step buying your first home, especially in London and in many cases the \u2018bank of mum and dad\u2019 is needed to step in to help them get up on the ladder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the important things for parents is to know that their young adult children are as safe as possible. Having spoken to Neal and his team, we worked collaboratively to understand what would be needed in terms of physical security and also the SBD team helped massively in the CCTV design. This definitely made the process far easier and I really felt that we were working as a team to gain the accreditation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_143375\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-143375\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-143375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Merton's the Zero has won the Secured by Design award\" width=\"696\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-1920x2560.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-610x813.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Zero-3-scaled.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-143375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9Police-CPI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not saying it was super easy but working with Neal and his partner made it less complicated than it sounded from the outset.

security<\/h3>\n<p>Developers around the UK can achieve SBD awards for incorporating crime prevention measures and techniques into their developments in all kinds of building sectors, such as residential, education, health, transport, commercial, retail, sport and leisure.<\/p>\n<p>Academic and other research shows that improving standards of security in brand new and refurbished properties, helps reduce both crime and the fear of crime and has direct links to better physical and mental wellbeing, such as with regard to high volume crimes like domestic abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Find out
