North Northallerton Development Area – Masterplan Framework & Design Guidance
5.22 This amended version of the Masterplan was presented at the
end of the Preferred Masterplan Framework and, with only very
minor amendment (the removal of one open space in NM5E)
this was the masterplan described in the Draft Masterplan
Framework report. This document was concerned primarily with
the development of a series of supporting frameworks (i.e. open
space, movement, character areas) and the preparation of
design guidance, now that the masterplan has been agreed.
