The people who run York's Museum Gardens, a riverside botanical park in the centre of the city, have been asked to produce more evidence to support their bid to have CCTV cameras installed there, said the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS).
Image source, Geograph/David DixonEarlier this year, following an increased terror threat the York Museums Trust (YMT) applied for planning permission to install the cameras at the park entrance and on some of its buildings.
At the time a museum spokeman said it had followed advice from law enforcement agencies and would "offer further protection to the public and to our historic buildings from any anti-social behaviour in the area".
Now planning documents show one of the council's own planning officers asking for written justification on why the cameras are needed.
The gardens contain five listed buildings and the ruins of St Mary's Abbey, a scheduled ancient monument.
A spokesman for the YMT said that since receiving new guidance from the city council, it has submitted a more detailed document for planners to consider.
