Scope of the Study 1.2 The study adheres to the guidance detailed in “Assessing Needs and Opportunities: A Companion Guide to PPG17” which details guidance on undertaking local assessments of open space, sport and recreation provision. The study has, where possible, included an audit of all existing indoor and outdoor open space, sport and recreational facilities in terms of: • Quantity • Quality • Accessibility NB. Not all facilities especially those in the private sector or managed by Parish Councils being readily available or willing to participate in the audit of quality or accessibility. 1.3 The study has also given consideration to the following factors: • Different uses of facilities • Classification and differing typologies of provision • The scale and availability of resources for maintenance / management • English Natures “Natural Accessible Greenspace Standards” 1.4 The study undertaken has included: • Consideration of the likely needs up to 2010 • A review of existing open space, leisure and recreation policies contained within the adopted South Norfolk Local Plan March 2003. • A range of consultation exercises to ascertain the views of the local community, key interest groups and wider stakeholders • Consideration to all appropriate facilities within South Norfolk including provision by the local authority (including education), private and voluntary sectors • An assessment of playing pitch provision using the methodology detailed in “Toward a Level Playing Field: A Guide to the Production of Playing Pitch Strategies” (Sport England, 2002) • Recommendations for local standards of provision with regard to quantity, quality and accessibility for inclusion within the developing Local Development Framework The Vision 1.5 It is important that a vision is adopted to reflect the aspirations for open space, sport and recreation in meeting South Norfolk Council’s corporate objectives. An extension of the vision detailed in the Council’s Community strategy (2003) has been adopted: ‘Working together to create an area that provides quality, value for money, cultural and leisure opportunities that improve the life and well being of residents and visitors’. Overview of South Norfolk 1.6 South Norfolk covers an area of 350 square miles and is a predominantly rural character. 65 per cent of the population live in one of five market towns or on the fringes of Norwich and 35 per cent live in smaller rural settlements. 1 PPG17 – Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 South Norfolk DC Final Report September 2007 1 SECTION I – INTRODUCTION 1.7 South Norfolk is a “green” Council: providing a cleaner greener area is one of the key objectives of the Council’s Community Strategy with recycling, greener transportation policies and sustainable development as key drivers for the Council acting at the local level to contribute to the wider environmental agenda. Open countryside, attractive scenery, riverside walks and historic trails all feature within the local landscape. 1.8 It is also important to consider the demographic make up of South Norfolk, as key demographic and socio-economic characteristics are known to influence demand characteristics. For example certain age-groups are known to register higher participation rates in a number of sport and leisure activities; deprived communities often experience issues relating to access to services and opportunities; cultural backgrounds may result in some passive and active recreation pursuits being favoured over others; car ownership levels can impact on the range of facilities that can be accessed. A brief review of the key demographics for the area show that: 1.9 Overall population; South Norfolk has a population of 110,714 of which 49% are male and 51% female according to 2001 Census Data (Office of National Statistics). 1.10 The Office of National Statistics (ONS) profile of South Norfolk population shows that the distribution across key age groups is not in line with the average in England & Wales. Just over a fifth (22.8%) of the resident population was of retirement age in mid-2003. This is markedly higher than the percentage for England and Wales (18.5%). 1.11 The age structure is essentially a middle aged one. It is important to consider key differences in profile as some age groups have a higher propensity to participate in sport and active recreation than others (particularly young people). Key differences within South Norfolk are: • A lower percentage of people in the age groups 0-15, 16-19 and 20-44 years old than the average in England & Wales. • A higher percentage of middle aged (45 years) to retirement and retirement age and over, above the average for England and Wales • South Norfolk’s ethnic mix differs slightly from that of England and Wales as a whole due to the increased percentage of white individuals (98.9% compare to 91.31%). The area is home to very few black or black British people (0.1%) when compared with the England and Wales figure of 2.19%. 1.12 South Norfolk as a whole is one of the least deprived local authorities in the country. The position it achieves for ‘Rank of Average Score’ is 281, ‘Rank of Income Scale’ is 236 and ‘Rank of Employment Scale’ is 229. When it is considered that position 1 is reserved for the most deprived local authority and position 354 is for the least deprived, it is clear that South Norfolk is one of the more affluent areas of England 1.13 South Norfolk has seen a 16.7% population increase between 1982 and 2002, which is much greater than the 11.2% population growth seen in region as a whole. South Norfolk has a population density much lower than both the East of England region and England and Wales in general, with a population density of 124 people per square kilometre compared to 284 people for the East England and 380 people for England overall. The population of South Norfolk is likely to continue to increase at a similar rate of the next 15-20 years given the housing allocations for the Norwich area in the draft East of England Plan (East of England Regional Assembly). 1.14 Car ownership in South Norfolk is half the national average with 13.4% of households in South Norfolk having no car, compared to the national average of 26.8% Strategic Review & Policy Background National Policy 1.15 The need for improved use and management of open spaces particularly public parks in urban areas has seen increased commitment demonstrated in national regional and local government policy. The key documents summarised in Figure 1.1 below have provided the impetus for the development and preparation of this strategy. They include: South Norfolk DC Final Report September 2007 2 SECTION I – INTRODUCTION Figure 1.1 National, Regional and Local Strategic Context PLANNING GUIDANCE Objective Planning Policy Guidance Note Outlines the importance for local authorities to undertake robust assessments of the 17. local need for quality open spaces. In order to develop local standards which are based on local supply and demand for facilities. ‘Rethinking Open Space’ This was the first report to seek greater recognition from the planning system to the The Scottish Executive and UK cross cutting importance of open space and the emerging urban agenda.. The report Parliament (2001) identifies the need for the planning process to give greater priority to the enhancement of existing open space provision rather than requiring new sites from developers. “Living Places – Cleaner, Safer, Gives a commitment to develop a clearer national framework for urban parks and Greener”(Office of the Deputy greenspaces Prime Minister 2002) Urban Greenspaces Task Force Recognises that parks and open spaces have the potential to make a significant “Greenspaces, Better Places” contribution to urban regeneration by making places more liveable and sustainable whilst also enriching the quality of people’s lives and local communities Sport England -2003 “The These documents provide the national sporting context for this study.

South Norfolk Local Plan The Local plan forms the basis for decisions on planning applications and provides adopted 2003 and additional the policies and proposal framework the Council believe will strike the right balance planning guidance on between the need to cater for development requirements across South Norfolk and ‘Recreational Open Space the need to protect and enhance the environmental qualities of the area.

Alex Gibson Abstract This paper summarises 80 years of ‘henge’ studies. It considers the range of monuments originally considered henges and how more diverse sites became added to the original list. It examines the diversity of monuments considered to be henges, their origins, their associated monument types and their dates. Since the introduction of the term, archaeologists have often been uncomfortable with it.

Due to facility space requirements needed to develop and manufacture new products, it has been decided to sub-contract the radial assembly process. Ceramic Chip Capacitor Encapsulation Material Lead to Chip Capacitor Solder Joint Lead Fig. 1. Radial Capacitor Construction Diagram The critical part of the radial component (the ceramic chip capacitor) will still be manufactured, electrically tested and inspected by Syfer. Registered Office: Old Stoke Road Arminghall, Norwich NR14 8SQ England Registered in England: No 2092166 (FA4/971/1) The radial assembly process including soldering leads onto the chip capacitor, encapsulation, print and radial electrical test will be conducted by the sub-contractor. The sub-contractor is certified to ISO9001 and has a proven history of manufacturing and supplying radial leaded capacitors. Syfer has conducted reliability tests on components manufactured by the sub-contractor as part of qualification and ongoing monitoring requirements. The change in location for the radial leaded capacitor assembly does not affect component specifications (including dimensional, performance or reliability) and, as such, there is no change to the Syfer part number. Radial leaded capacitors manufactured by the sub-contractor will gradually be phased into customer supply from March 2013.

  • Electoral Arrangements Review Committee
    ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS REVIEW COMMITTEE Minutes of a meeting of the Electoral Arrangements Review Committee of South Norfolk District Council held at South Norfolk House, Long Stratton on 14 August 2018 at 10:30am. Committee Members Present: Councillors: C Kemp (Chairman), C Easton, K Kiddie and T Lewis Apologies: Councillors: J Fuller and L Hornby Substitute Members: Councillors: M Edney for J Fuller and A Thomas for L Hornby Officers in Attendance: The Electoral Services Manager (J Tovee-Galey) and the Electoral Services Officer (N Tullock). 31. MINUTES The minutes of the Electoral Arrangements Review Committee held on 29 November 2017 were confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman. Regarding the changes made to the boundary of Bixley, Caistor St Edmund and Poringland, Cllr Lewis stated that he was unhappy with the outcome as he felt it would have been more logical for the area around Octagon Farm to have been moved into Framingham Earl rather than Poringland. He advised members that, although he understood that the Committee’s recommendations had been approved by Full Council and formed part of the Order, he regretted that he had not spotted the issue when the Committee had considered its recommendations using the maps provided. Members noted that the Council had recently appointed a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analyst so future graphics would Electoral Arrangements Review Committee 14 August 2018 be more detailed. The Electoral Services Manager advised that, for future Community Governance Reviews, it might be advantageous for the Committee to consider the District in several smaller parts. 32. POLLING DISTRI CTS AND POLLING PLACES REVIEW 2018 The Electoral Services Manager presented her report, advising members that, following the amendment of some parish boundaries as a result of the Community Governance Review, it had been necessary to undertake an interim Polling Districts and Polling Places Review to ensure that suitable and convenient polling arrangements were in place for the May 2019 District and Parish Elections.

For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In this datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

FOREIGN INFLUENCES ON AND INNOVATION IN ENGLISH TOMB SCULPTURE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY by Nicola Jane Shilliam B.A. (Warwick) Ph.D. dissertation Warwick University History of Art September 1986 SUMMARY This study is an investigation of stylistic and iconographic innovation in English tomb sculpture from the accession of King Henry VIII through the first half of the sixteenth century, a period during which Tudor society and Tudor art were in transition as a result of greater interaction with continental Europe. The form of the tomb was moulded by contemporary cultural, temporal and spiritual innovations, as well as by the force of artistic personalities and the directives of patrons. Conversely, tomb sculpture is an inherently conservative art, and old traditions and practices were resistant to innovation. The early chapters examine different means of change as illustrated by a particular group of tombs. The most direct innovations were introduced by the royal tombs by Pietro Torrigiano in Westminster Abbey. The function of Italian merchants in England as intermediaries between Italian artists and English patrons is considered. Italian artists also introduced terracotta to England.
