North Northallerton Development Area – Masterplan Framework & Design Guidance 4.19 Transport 4.20 Flood Risk The access/link road is the key constraint to achieving successful movement patterns to and within the site. Phasing of the link/access road – this needs to be in place early on to prevent the Darlington Road/Yafforth Road junction becoming over capacity. The link/access road requires a structure over the railway line and Brompton Beck. Network Rail and Environment Agency requirements will need to be fulfilled. Public transport provision is currently poor for the western side of the site. If the access road is not completed at opening of the first parts of the development area an interim improvement to services and infrastructure along Darlington Road is required. Position of the access junction into the site from Darlington Road is fixed from the designed link road options as there is little land either side to relocate the proposed position. The use of a roundabout would also appear to be the most suitable means of highlighting the change of speed limit at this point. The extent of the flood plain for a 1:100yr and below event, associated with the Brompton Beck and its tributaries, renders large areas unsuitable for development. The flood alleviation works to the north of Brompton may have an effect on the developable area. NM5A slopes west away from the Brompton Beck. The general slope of the land towards the water courses is extremely shallow. Standing surface water seems to be prevalent within the site boundary. The current agreed surface water run-off rate appears quite restrictive Flood risk has been addressed by natural solutions locally to the site (new employment development at the eastern end of Thurston Road). 4.21 Energy and Utilities There is insufficient sewage treatment and network capacity to support the whole development. There is insufficient electricity network capacity (at 11kV) to support the whole site. There is a foul pumping station at the site boundary requiring a 15m environmental health buffer. There is a foul water rising main within the site - can be diverted at cost. 29
North Northallerton Development Area – Masterplan Framework & Design Guidance There are overhead 11kV electricity lines within the site – can be diverted at cost. 4.22 Property Market 4.23 Delivery & Risks The residential property market remains weak following the economic recession, although there are signs of recovery. However, property prices remain below the 2007 peak and mortgage lending remains low. The Commercial property market also remains weak, without the signs of recovery in the residential market. A significant quantity of new build office and industrial property remains vacant. Whilst borrowing costs remain low, access to mortgage finance is tough, with stringent mortgage terms being enforced by the banks. The highway and placemaking functions of the access/link road will need to be reconciled. The site is in multiple ownerships, with limited collaboration between landowners. Delivery of the site requires a new bridge over the Northallerton to Middlesbrough railway. Development viability remains weak due to low property prices and costs associated with physical and community infrastructure. Gently rolling hills create strong landscape character Opportunities 4.24 Landscape Landscape is used to define a strong character for the development weaving elements of the landscape into the placemaking objectives. The rural landscape character can be preserved within the Brompton Gap. Mitigate views to the development, using the precedence of some of the existing linear landscape elements. Existing hedgerows and woodland planting retained to settle new development in the landscape and create wildlife corridors. Create a well connected network of wildlife corridors 30
