<p>The Government funds a national network of Police Counter Terrorism Security Advisors
(CTSAs) to ensure owners, operators, and local authorities, are aware of terrorist
threat methodologies and steps they can take to reduce their vulnerability to terrorist
attacks. This includes the provision of advice and guidance on protective security
measures to planners, designers and architects at significant new builds such as the
Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre. A Metropolitan Police Service CTSA has been
part of the security assessment process for the Holocaust memorial, working jointly
with the other partners involved.</p><p>Security advice, as part of planning policies
in England, is provided through the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework
and associated Guidance. On 12 July 2017, the Chief Planning Officer wrote to all
local planning authorities to reiterate the role the planning system plays in ensuring
appropriate measures are in place to help prevent terrorist threats. There is also
a range of further Government advice and guidance available online, including the
Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure’s ‘Protecting Crowded Places:
Design and Technical Issues’ guide.</p>
