North Northallerton Development Area - Hambleton District Council

North Northallerton Development Area – Masterplan Framework & Design Guidance
using existing features.
A new sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS)
should be considered; new development should not put
further pressure on the amount of surface water draining
to North Beck.
Create a new recreation hub close to the council offices,
providing a high quality and central facility for the whole
area.
close to the existing Esso/Co-op could be explored
(outside the red line).
Design principles developed from the evolution of
existing local villages could help to inform design of an
attractive hub within the development.
The character of streets such as South Parade and
hedge-lined country lanes could help define a character
for the new access/link road.
Linking routes across the scheme should ensure that the
area is permeable.
Connections into the town centre should be promoted
and pick out good existing links e.g. Northallerton Road.
The use of the local vernacular should be considered.
4.26 Community Infrastructure
The masterplan provides the opportunity to address a
spatial under-provision in accessible community
infrastructure in the northern part of the town. This could
be by way of one or two community hubs and a primary
school, which would serve the new residents and
adjacent existing neighbourhoods.
Romanby: townscape form
4.25 Townscape
The surviving village character of Romanby – including
the village green - within the wider Northallerton
settlement could form an interesting concept for
townscape character.
Opportunities to reinforce the existing hub at the
intersection of Northallerton Road and Stokesley Road
4.27 Transport
New access/link road provides the opportunity to
connect areas within Northallerton rather than act as a
local barrier.
Close proximity to town centre allows for cycling and
walking trips to be made. There is the basis of a good
existing network for these users, with the link/access
road corridor providing a ‘missing link’ between the west
and east of North Northallerton.
