Sensitive project
Security Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in 2023, states:
A Built Asset should be a Sensitive Project if it:
- Forms part of the critical national infrastructure
- Fulfils a defence, law enforcement or national security or diplomatic function
- Is a commercial site involving the creation, trading, or storage of significant volumes of valuable materials, currency, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petrochemicals, or gases
- Constitutes a landmark, nationally significant site
- Is a crowded place
- Is used or is planned to be used to host events of Security Significance.
Proximity to a Sensitive Project can raise the Security Risk to a project even though the project itself isn’t sensitive.
