North Northallerton Development Area – Masterplan Framework & Design Guidance
9. To create a sustainable transport network throughout the site
including a well designed primary route (link road) that creates a
high quality, safe and pedestrian friendly environment.
10. To ensure that the development, implementation and management
of the NNDA includes the active participation and involvement
of the community and key stakeholders to deliver the shared vision
and objectives.
Design Themes
3.11 The four Design Themes are the key concepts, distilled from the
vision, that underpin the place that is being created. They provide
an essential steer through the masterplanning and delivery
processes and are used as organising principles for the design
guidance.
Design Themes
Quality place making and design
Environmentally sensitive
Well served and run communities
Sustainably well connected
3.12 Within each theme there are a series of 3-4 design guidance
principles (see Section 7). These principles will shape and instruct
development in order for it to be truly representative of these
themes and to deliver the Vision. These principles are listed on
Table 4.1.
Targets and Standards
3.13 There are a number of external standards and measurable targets
that can be applied to the Masterplan. These allow the vision and
objectives to be calibrated in a more tangible, comparable and
easily-understood form. The appropriate standards for
development within the NNDA have been fully considered and are
set out below, organised under the Design Themes. These are
derived from the aspirations expressed in the Vision and Project
Objectives and are fully integrated with the design guidance
principles, which provide more detailed guidance to support these
targets and standards.
