There was a comment from Andrew Blake, though not an objection, he wished to highlight that a 1% increase in Defra grant aid has been agreed, as the NAAONB proposed increase is higher than 1% it potentially squeezes the work the AONB unit can do locally. Chris Woodley-Stewart commented that this represents a very small amount of money 2.7% of £2500 = £67.50. Approved 1st March 2018 Chris Woodruff added that it is up to lead officers to justify the value for money of the NAAONB back to the Partnerships, and he finds it easy to justify - his Chairman backed this up. Paul Jackson supported the notion of a progressive increase to avoid problems caused by infrequent, but more significant increases. Proposed: Andrew Blake Seconded: Graham Godbeer Agreed: Unanimously Item 9 Election of Trustees and appointment of Auditors The Chairman introduced this paper, he corrected the paper as only one has nomination been put forward, rather than two, the Board has endorsed Lucy Barron to move from co-option to full Board member.

  • Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable
    return to list of Publications and Lectures Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable Charles S. Rhyne Professor, Art History Reed College published in Appearance, Opinion, Change: Evaluating the Look of Paintings Papers given at a conference held jointly by the United Kingdom institute for Conservation and the Association of Art Historians, June 1990. London: United Kingdom Institute for Conservation, 1990, p.72-84. Abstract This paper reviews the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by one artist, John Constable. The intention is not simply to describe changes in the work of Constable but to suggest a framework for the study of changes in the work of any artist and to facilitate discussion among conservators, conservation scientists, curators, and art historians. The paper considers, first, examples of physical changes in the paintings themselves; second, changes in the physical conditions under which Constable's paintings have been viewed. These same examples serve to consider changes in the cultural and psychological contexts in which Constable's paintings have been understood and interpreted Introduction The purpose of this paper is to review the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by a single artist to see what questions these raise and how the varying answers we give to them might affect our work as conservators, scientists, curators, and historians. [1] My intention is not simply to describe changes in the appearance of paintings by John Constable but to suggest a framework that I hope will be helpful in considering changes in the paintings of any artist and to facilitate comparisons among artists.

The nearby market towns of Hadleigh 5 miles and Sudbury 9 miles provide a wide range of recreational, educational and shopping amenities and the village itself benefits from a village shop and public house. There is ready access to Colchester (9 miles) which provides direct to London Liverpool Street Station. Nestled amidst rolling farmland, on a quiet lane, is a detached, unlisted period cottage offered to the market for the first time in over 100 years. Understood to have previously existed as two cottages, the property enjoys an outstanding setting within the historic village of Polstead. Located within both a conservation area and the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is fair to suggest the property would benefit from modernisation/updating throughout and offers possible scope for redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning consents). Arranged via two ground-floor reception rooms, the property is centrally positioned within its 0.3-acre plot with farmland to both front and rear.

Much of our national infrastructure for water, waste, transport and energy requires a fundamental rethink. We need to regenerate urban and rural communities, build more homes, strengthen social cohesion and establish food security; but all at a time when capital investment is very limited, the UK economy is fragile, the global market place is increasingly competitive and climate change is a growing concern. There is a false perception that good design is an expensive luxury. Now is precisely the time to focus on utility and function put together beautifully. Any action that changes the appearance and condition of a place must consider its effect on the wider landscape. It is vital to see the bigger picture. This is the role of landscape architecture. Landscape architecture is rooted in an understanding of how the environment works and what makes each place unique. It is a blend of science and art, vision and thought. It is a creative profession skilled in strategic planning, delivery and management. Landscape architects bring knowledge of natural sciences, environmental law and planning policy.

  • AONB Team Response to Matter 7 (Environment Policies) Question 7.6 A-C
    AONB Office Dock Lane Melton Suffolk IP12 1PE 01394 384948 W: www.dedhamvalestourvalley.org W: www.suffolkcoastandheaths.org 3 June 2021 AONB team response to Matter 7 (Environment Policies) Question 7.6 a-c This response has been prepared by Beverley McClean on behalf of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) team. The AONB team that works across the Dedham Vale AONB and Stour Valley and the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB. The AONB team welcome the opportunity to comment on Matter 7 Q7.6 a-c. 7.6 a) Is policy LP20 consistent with national policy? Policy LP20 is not considered to be consistent with national policy namely paragraph 172 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). In our response to the Regulation 19 consultation, the AONB team highlighted its broad support of the policy LP20. However, the team also requested several amendments to policy LP20 which we considered were necessary to ensure that the policy is sound. The NPPF provides the framework which Local Plans and other development plans must accord with. Paragraph 172 sets out the development approach for all nationally Protected Landscapes including AONBs. Paragraph 172 states ‘Great weight should be given to conserving and enhancing landscape and scenic beauty in National Parks, the Broads and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which have the highest status of protection in relation to these issues. The conservation and enhancement of wildlife and cultural heritage are also important considerations in these areas and should be given great weight in National Parks the Broads. The scale and extent of development within these designated areas should be limited.
