The New Settlement (Maltkiln) Development Plan
Document (DPD) sets a clear and ambitious vision for Maltkiln and a
policy framework to guide how it is developed. The DPD, now
adopted, will form part of the Development Plan for the Harrogate
District and will be used in the determination of planning
applications in the area.
Policy NS3 of the Maltkiln Development Plan Document requires that
a detailed allocation wide masterplan must be produced for the new
settlement in conjunction with the council, local community and
other stakeholders and be agreed by the local planning
authority.

Consultees
The draft Masterplan Framework document has
been developed in conjunction with the council’s internal
specialist officers (together with Maltkiln promotor’s
technical team). We have also provided verbal updates to both
Management Board and Cabinet Members as the draft framework
document has evolved.
We have also consulted with the Local Community Group, technical
stakeholders and the wider local community.
