Within 5km the map names the Tengore Lane Solar Farm and the Brunel Shopping Precinct, alongside 7 pubs, bars and clubs and 5 mapped construction sites. No railway station falls inside that radius, so most access is by road. That spread suggests security built around distance: patrols that link isolated sites, cameras on remote plant and alarms that report to an accredited monitoring centre.
