Northallerton Shop Front Improvement Scheme

Northallerton is one of 69 towns to be selected as a High Street Heritage Action Zone throughout England by Historic England. 

One of the key initiatives under the Heritage Action Zone to help revive and strengthen Northallerton’s historic high street is the Shop Front Improvement Scheme.

The scheme will: 

• Improve shop fronts in line with their historic context 
• Foster a sense of pride in the high street 
• Encourage landlords to ensure their properties continue to be maintained to a high standard 

The Shop Front Improvement Scheme has been allocated a grant by Historic England to be spent over three years (2021-2024). Both the council and Northallerton Business Improvement District have added contributions to this to provide a higher intervention rate and to help bring more schemes forward.

How the scheme works

The Council is offering grants to encourage retail businesses along Northallerton’s high street to improve their shop fronts.

The grants provide: 

• Up to 75% of total project costs 
• A maximum fund of £25,000
