New Teaching and Learning Building for Newcastle University GSS New Teaching and Learningreview Building 42for Newcastle University Newcastle University’s Faculty of Medical Sciences is in the process of diversifying its undergraduate provision and increasing student numbers for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes. As part of this ongoing process, GSSArchitecture have been appointed to design a shared teaching and learning facility to include specialist spaces and staff offices for the Schools of Psychology and Sport, Exercise and Nutritional Sciences. The new open access building is to be located on Plot 4, adjacent to the Sports Hall and the new Park View Student Residences and close to the main Medical School. The innovative building will provide functional and flexible facilities for teaching and learning, and has been designed to facilitate integrated research by promoting collaboration between disciplines through shared encounter spaces and the provision of breakout areas. This approach will support the development of cross-disciplinary research and teaching, integrating both the physical and psychological aspects of exercise in relation to health and performance. The facility will become a hub for a wide range of students who occupy the surrounding buildings, including the Sports Hall and various student residences, in addition to meeting the needs of the expanding Faculty of Medical Sciences. Construction work will commence in September 2018 and is due to be completed before Christmas 2019.

We have taken this step to ensure that we can still offer our high quality instructor led classroom training in a safe environment that has all the required Covid safety protocols in place. If you are travelling a distance you can stay at the hotel during the course and you only have to walk from your room to the room being used for the training. As an alternative the Holiday Inn Express hotel is just across the road from the Campanile hotel, as can be seen on the map over the page. All desks, chairs, PC’s, monitors, keyboards, mouse etc. being used in the classroom will be deep cleaned and sanitised before each course. Each delegate and the instructor will be over 2 metres apart with a maximum of 3 delegates on any one course. Each delegate will have a transparent protection screen on the desk behind the monitor. The instructor will wear a visor and there will be masks and gloves available for each delegate, although it is your choice on whether to wear these as at this point in time, they are not mandatory.

  • Northampton Local Plan
    CASTELLO FORTIOR CONCORDIA NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL NORTHAMPTON LOCAL PLAN 1993-2006 ADOPTED JUNE 1997 WRITTEN STATEMENT Indicating Saved Policies as amended by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government September 2007 David Moir Director of Environment Services June 1997 FOREWORD Northampton is rapidly developing town - fortunate in having within its boundary a blend of old and new. It combines a historic town centre, former village communities, modern housing areas and a diverse range of employers with parks and open spaces which extend right into the heart of the town. It is an environment of which we are proud. Almost thirty years ago Northampton was designated a new town and under the auspices of the Development Corporation, Northampton expanded significantly through the implementation of the Northampton Master Plan. The momentum of growth remains, but it is important to ensure that future development adds to the quality of the environment in Northampton. The adopted Local Plan forms the basis for all decisions relating to land use within the Borough. It reflects many comments and representations made during its preparation as well as taking on board the recommendations of a Planning Inspector appointed by the Department of Environment following a Public Inquiry into remaining objections. The Plan aims to guide the further expansion of Northampton. It seeks to conserve important open spaces, encourage a balanced mix of residential, business and leisure development and promote good sustainable transport initiatives. In essence it seeks to produce an environment which enhances Northampton for the benefit of all. In conclusion, I wish to pay tribute to the late Councillor Roger Alder who steered the Plan through the majority of its stages as chair of the Planning Committee.

Robe UK was extremely proud to work with a number of companies, organisations, venues and individuals to light ten significant buildings and landmarks in and around its hometown of Northampton … for the #LightItInRedlighting action campaign on Monday night, 6th of July. #LightItInRed was a UK-wide initiative set up by Steven Haynes from Clearsound Productions and Phillip Berryman from The Backstage Theatre Jobs Forum to highlight the challenges facing the live events, entertainment, arts, and performance sector, which, despite a very welcome £1.57 billion financial assistance package for the ‘culture’ sector announced by the government on the eve of the event, still has no re-open date after the lockdown. The “emergency red” was for all related venues, companies, businesses and the massive associated infrastructure, including thousands of talented freelancers – creative and technical – all are struggling for survival.

Over six hundred and fifty illuminations were on the #LightItInRed map dotted all over the UK in a highly successful show of cohesion in these anxious times. Robe UK’s head of marketing Theresa Gibson enthusiastically coordinated all the permissions required to light these key Northampton sites as well as dealing with logistics and sourcing fixtures for which Robe UK partnered with rental and production company Clearsound Production from Shipston-on-Stour.

  • Joint Core Strategy Local Plan (Part 1)
    West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted - December 2014 West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted DEC 2014 1.0 Foreword The importance of "Strategic Planning" which shapes and makes the places in which people live, work and play cannot be overstated. The alternative would, in all likelihood, result in an uncoordinated approach through speculative developer-led planning and related applications. This West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Local Plan is a key document in ensuring places are shaped and made in a way which meets the needs of the people of today whilst ensuring the needs of future generations are safeguarded. This Local Plan forms Part 1 of the suite of Local Plans in West Northamptonshire that will, together, guide the evolution of Northampton, Daventry and South Northamptonshire in the years that lie ahead. It provides a long-term vision for the area with an overall framework in which more detailed plans will be drawn up and decisions made. It contains a broad planning strategy aimed at meeting that vision, and contains core strategic policies, which the Partner Councils - Daventry District, Northampton Borough, South Northamptonshire and Northamptonshire County Councils - believe will provide sound guidance in the years ahead. This Joint Core Strategy provides a strategic framework to guide the preparation of Part 2 Local Plans which will provide more detailed planning policies and site allocations for each of the partner Borough and District Councils. The whole community has had a real opportunity to positively and collectively influence and improve the way we do things in the future - in the way we use land, we build, and how we shape our environment.
