It provides the policy framework to guide the redevelopment of a number of important sites. These include Firepool, Cricket Club, Coal Orchard, Morrisons, Tangier, Tesco, Goodland Gardens, Castle Green, High Street and East Street. Taunton Deane Borough Council is working closely with the Local Strategic Partnership and partners to ensure the delivery of Project Taunton. The Action Plan explains how the various proposals will be implemented, including the roles and responsibilities of partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors. The Action Plan identifies how the regeneration of the town centre can deliver important community priorities including opportunities for training and skills, better connections to the town centre from disadvantaged communities and tackling climate change. We have received valuable input from our partners and comment from the local community that has shaped the content of the Action Plan. We now have a sound plan that can deliver the regeneration of the town centre as envisaged by Project Taunton. October 2008 Simon Coles - TDBC Executive Member responsible for Planning & Transport David Smith - Chair of Taunton Deane Local Strategic Partnership John Clothier - Chair of Project Taunton 4 Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) Taunton Deane Borough Council Taunton Deane Borough Council Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) 5 Summary 2 2.1 Work on the Taunton Vision (now Project Taunton) has been in progress since 2002. This has involved a close partnership between the Borough Council, Somerset County Council and the South West of England Regional Development Agency. The Environment Agency has also been a key player owing to the major influence of the River Tone on the development of Taunton, particularly on sites adjoining the river within the town centre. 2.2 The wider community has also been extensively involved in shaping the Vision. The Urban Design Framework prepared by Terence O’Rourke was exhibited at various locations in Taunton and comments invited from the public. Proposals for Taunton Town Centre have also been subject to wide consultation during the ‘Issues and Options’ stages of the LDF Core Strategy and earlier stages of this Action Plan, and as part of the production of the Taunton Deane Sustainable Community Strategy. 2.3 The Action Plan content reflects this partnership working and consultation activity. The main proposals can be summarised as follows: Firepool A strategic employment site providing around 60,000 square metres of new offices 8,000 square metres of retailing and leisure uses Around 1,000 dwellings A boulevard linking the railway station with the River Tone and the town centre The Northern Inner Distributor Road, opening up key development sites and relieving the town centre of traffic Two multi-storey car parks, including one for rail users Improved interchange facilities and ‘gateway’ enhancements at the railway station New hotel development Refurbishment of listed buildings Cricket Club/Coal Orchard/Morrisons A redeveloped County Ground with facilities for international cricket Major expansion of the specialist retail activity around St James Street Additional large format retail space north of the river, to complement the established town centre New housing and employment activities on upper floors A transformed and expanded Brewhouse Theatre 6 Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) Taunton Deane Borough Council 2 Summary Riverside leisure uses, bars and restaurants More attractive streets, squares and riverside walkways Tangier and Tesco Around 500 dwellings, many in attractive waterside locations New riverside leisure and retail activities Environmental improvements along the River Tone and Mill Stream, including improved walkways and cycle routes Additional large format retail space The ‘Third Way’ relief road, which will help to remove traffic from the main shopping streets Opportunities for an expanded foodstore linked to new housing/student accommodation Goodland Gardens and Castle Green A major enhancement of Goodland Gardens, focused on an upgraded Somerset County Museum and new pedestrian/cycle bridges over the River Tone Creation of a major new civic space at Castle Green, able to host public events A redeveloped bus station offering better passenger facilities An overall enhancement scheme for Corporation Street, giving more priority to pedestrians, buses and cyclists High Street and East Street Around 30,000 square metres of new retail space Around 200 dwellings A relocated Taunton library A comprehensive programme of street improvements, especially to High Street, Fore Street, North Street, Hammet Street and Church Square Enhancement of East Street to give more priority to pedestrians, cyclists and buses Two new multi-storey car parks Taunton Deane Borough Council Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) 7 Summary 2 Waterways New developments, riverside walkways and landscaping to place the River Tone at the heart of the town centre Off-site and on-site measures to address flooding and enable sites to be developed Improving the river for navigation, fishing and other water-based activities Retention and improvement of riverside wildlife habitat Implementation 2.4 The policy framework has now been developed to an advanced stage, and delivery of the proposals will be secured by working with Project Taunton, Somerset County Council, developers and other key partners. Taunton's status as a New Growth Point provides an opportunity for faster delivery of key projects. 8 Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) Taunton Deane Borough Council Taunton Deane Borough Council Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) 9 Introduction 1 10 Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) Taunton Deane Borough Council 1 Introduction What is an Area Action Plan? 1.1 Area Action Plans provide the planning framework for areas where significant change is needed. Taunton town centre is such an area, and the Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (TCAAP) focuses on the delivery of major regeneration proposals for large parts of the town centre. The Plan: builds on the work of the Taunton Vision and establishes how the regeneration of the town centre will be proactively delivered and co-ordinated by the public and private sectors in partnership; delivers those parts of the Sustainable Community Strategy that relate to the use of land within the town centre; and sets out the statutory policy framework against which planning applications will be assessed. 1.2 The Area Action Plan is part of the emerging Local Development Framework (LDF) for Taunton Deane, which is a suite of documents setting down the spatial planning strategy for the Borough. Together with the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) the LDF comprises the statutory development plan, which provides the framework for planning decisions. The LDF will gradually replace the Taunton Deane Local Plan, as its component documents are produced. Talking Tomorrow's Taunton Deane (March 2006) 1.3 This was a major consultation exercise that was conducted with the assistance of a number of partners. The consultation actively sought the views of a wide cross section of the local community. The response can be viewed in the TCAAP Spatial Report, that has been provided as a background Document to be read in conjunction with this Action Plan. This consultation phase was the Regulation 25 (Issues and Options) stage. Community involvement in the early stages of the Action Plan preparation Taunton Deane Borough Council Taunton Town Centre Area Action Plan (Adopted) 11 Introduction 1 TCAAP Preferred Option (October 2006) 1.4 A preferred options document was prepared having considered the response generated by the original Talking Tomorrow's Taunton Deane consultation. A statutory six-week consultation period occurred during early Autumn 2006. The public response to this has been published, and can be viewed on the Borough Council's Website and at Council offices, community offices and all libraries within Taunton Deane. Generally, the Action Plan received a good level of public support. TCAAP Submission Consultation (October 2007) 1.5 The plan was submitted to the Secretary of State in October 2007. Following submission of the plan there was a statutory period of six weeks during which representations were invited. The Examination (April - May 2008) 1.6 A Government appointed Inspector conducted an Examination of the submission document for its overall 'soundness' and to ensure that it satisfies the statutory requirements for its preparation. The Inspector's Report (July 2008) 1.7 The Inspector's Report concluded that the TTCAAP is sound and made recommendations for changes to the Action Plan which are binding on the Council. Adoption of the plan (October 2008) 1.8 The final version of the plan incorporating all the Inspector's changes has been made available for inspection in accordance with regulations and published on the website, together with the sustainability appraisal and adoption statement. The plan and adoption statement have been sent to the Secretary of State. The plan was adopted in October 2008.

    Non-confidential ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION OF 99P STORES LIMITED BY POUNDLAND GROUP PLC RESPONSE TO PHASE II STATEMENT OF ISSUES 9 JULY 2015 LON37045457/6 163772-0005 POUNDLAND GROUP PLC Response to the CMA’s Statement of Issues This document is Poundland Group plc’s (Poundland) response to the UK Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) statement of issues of 25 June (Statement of Issues) regarding Poundland’s proposed acquisition of 99p Stores Ltd (99p Stores) (the Transaction). Please note that this document contains Poundland confidential information and should not be shared with third parties absent Poundland’s express prior written consent. 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Poundland welcomes the opportunity to provide the CMA with its input on the CMA’s Statement of Issues. 1.2 Poundland believes that the evidence strongly supports the view that this transaction does not pose any risk to competition. On the contrary, Poundland considers that the merger will be pro-competitive – bringing a superior proposition to 99p Stores’ customers, and further enhancing competition along the High Street. 1.3 In particular, the evidence shows that: (a) Poundland competes in a competitive marketplace everywhere it operates. Poundland competes all along the High Street: all of the products that Poundland sells are either available at a supermarket, at a limited assortment discounter (LAD), at another value general merchandiser (VGM), at a specialist retailer or at an independent discounter. Customers are value conscious – they want more for less, can easily switch retailers and do not display any ‘fascia loyalty’ in their quest for value. (b) There is no variation of the offer across the Poundland estate.

  • Chinese Grocery's Age of Empires
    CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES TWO GIANT GROUPINGS ARE CARVING UP THE MARKET CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES Chinese retail is evolving into two rival empires, each dominated by competing e-commerce giants. One realm is centered on Alibaba, which owns two of China’s largest e-commerce platforms, Taobao and TMall, as well as an electronic payments system, AliPay. The other is an alliance between JD, a leading online retailer, and Tencent, an internet and digital-technology conglomerate that owns WeChat, China’s most popular social-media app. These two empires already own the digital lives of Chinese consumers today, where the average Chinese spends over 60% of their mobile app usage on either ecosystem. Now Alibaba and Tencent/JD have set their sights on physical retail, including acquiring stakes in six of China’s top 10 hypermarkets, the country’s biggest electronics retailer, one of the largest department stores and the largest commercial property and entertainment conglomerate.

  • The Hollywood Cinema Industry's Coming of Digital Age: The
    The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.
