Development Opportunities building momentum in Norfolk & Suffolk

by Scott Parke s.parke@twgaze.co.uk With house building set to intensify in the UK over the next 5 years, the need to allocate more land for housing development and the desire to ensure that the housing is delivered remains a high priority nationally.This ambition is replicated in Norfolk and Suffolk, where there are a number of adopted and newly emerging Local Plans attempting to meet both local needs and national requirements.

In the year to December 2015, 17,500 new homes were started in the East of England, contributing to 143,500 nationwide, a 23% increase from the previous year.The 5 year

residential forecast is looking particularly strong with property prices expected to rise by 21% in the East of England by 2020.

Alongside this, a report from the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership suggested Norfolk and Suffolk had built 7,000 fewer homes than they needed to last year and predicted a 28,000 home shortfall by 2026, indicating that the demand for development is set to continue for the foreseeable future.

The Housing and Planning Bill proposes to deliver 1 million homes built by 2020, provide new affordable starter homes, offer greater certainty around development sites and

provide planning reforms to help smaller builders.

Landowners with land within or close to settlement boundaries should now be actively assessing their options and looking to promote their land as a potential development site. A preliminary discussion with the local council regarding the development prospects in the local area is a good place to start.

In Norfolk and Suffolk, we have been actively promoting a number of sites across both counties and have a strong portfolio of developments that have been taken through to completion. With a large database of potential

developers and purchasers, we would be more than happy to discuss any potential sites with you.

If you are thinking of developing in 2016 or beyond, we have an experienced team who will be able to assist you, whether it is looking at the potential of obtaining planning permission or promoting land to developers and promoters. If you are interested in exploring potential development opportunities or simply would like to have an informal conversation, please contact Edward Baskerville, Oliver Chapman or Scott Parke on 01379 651 931.

Art Smith Jewellery Arthur Smith was born in Cuba in 1917, his parents having emigrated there from Jamaica.The family moved to New York when he was three and he was raised in the borough of Brooklyn.

Having trained at Cooper Union Day Art School, NewYork University and later under Winifred Mason, he was ultimately one of

the leading modernist jewellers of the mid-20th Century.

As an adult he worked in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village and opened his first shop there on Cornelia Street in 1946, which he continued to run until 1979.

Smith worked in copper, silver and gold, often accentuating his designs with semi-precious stones.

He was inspired by surrealism, biomorphicism, and primitivism and his pieces are characteristically dynamic in both size and form.

However, whilst sometimes immense in scale, his jewellery was always cleverly lightweight and wearable.

Smith was also an active supporter of black and gay civil rights, an avid jazz enthusiast, and a supporter of early black modern dance groups.

Although many of his pieces were extremely large they were actively designed to be worn by avant-garde dancers. This performance form influenced his style. Of his own work, he said: “A piece of jewellery is in a sense an object that is not complete in itself.

Jewellery is a ‘what is it?’

until you relate it to the body. The body is a component in design just as air and space are. Like line, form, and color, the body is a material to work with. It is one of the basic inspirations in creating form.”

During his lifetime, Smith’s work was featured in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and was exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts.

Art Smith died in 1982.

Posthumously, Smith’s work was the subject of an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in 2008-2011, and pieces are held in the permanent collections of the Cooper Hewitt Museum, Museum of Art and Design and Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

The Sporting Guns & Outdoor Pursuits Sale Friday 8 April Do you remember back in January when you said you were going to get active in 2016? Well some of you may still be waiting for a little kick start and here it is, the Outdoor pursuits sale. Already to include a range of bikes and canoes the sale, organised by Calvin Johnson, will be held alongside a section of sporting guns catalogued by Louis Smith. We can’t guarantee buying from our auction will be enough to get you to Rio 2016, but Tokyo 2020? Who knows.

SOUND & VISION THURSDAY 24 MARCH 2016

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that your surname will have some influence on your career or aspects within your chosen job. So for instance if you are born John Butcher it can be demonstrated that you have an above average chance of becoming a butcher. A brilliant example from history being William Wordsworth who lived up to expectations by becoming one of the great poets.

A check of the internet will confirm our fascination with the phenomenon with people listing vicars call Sermon, music teachers called Fiddle and gardeners called Blossom Bloomer. And as funny and coincidental as they are, there are some that must be more than just chance, like David C. Rockola.

Born in Canada David would start out as an engineer working on coin operated devices. His understanding of how they worked quickly grew and realising he could do better he soon established a firm making coin operated scales. In

the 1930s other devices, principally pinball machines would enhance the Rock-Ola range.

However with his name surely music was his calling, and with the purchase of a 12- select mechanism the range would extend into coinoperated phonographs with the 1935 jukebox, The Rock-Ola. Seen as a big threat to the dominate Wurlitzer brand Rockola had to fight a $1 million lawsuit as his competitors tried unsuccessfully to remove him from the market.

World War supressed jukebox manufacture and it was not until the boys started coming home that production got into full swing again with RockOla introducing the enduring Magic Glow series.The 50’s and 60’s established Rock-Ola as a true innovator and market leader but with the ‘70s came home hi-fi and the demand declined winding down the business. In the 1990s the name and business was sold and, exploiting a growing nostalgia market, its new owner would embrace new technology to re-establish the name as one of the principal

manufactures of home and commercial juke boxes.

On Thursday 24 March we will be offering this Model CD8B in our first Sound &Vision Auction. Requiring a little attention it holds 100 CDs, and is to be offered with an estimate of £1500-2000.

Whilst some of the world is busy streaming music from the cloud this jukebox stirs the senses in an entirely more emotive and life affirming way, a perfect embodiment of a sound and vision experience.

Rock-Ola – rock on!

Still synonymous with Rock & Roll.

Marathon Challenge On Sunday 24th April, thousands of people will take on the London Marathon. One of those incredible people will be my wife Katie.

Katie will be running for Allergy UK, a cause very close to our hearts; as our daughter, Evie, suffers from several severe allergies and anaphylaxis.

Allergy UK is the leading national charity dedicated to supporting the estimated 21 million allergy sufferers in the UK. Katie will be the sole runner representing Allergy UK … no pressure!

So if you are in London on the 24th April, make sure you cheer her on.

We will be!

Rob Kinsella more information available at www.allergyuk.org As well as Katie’s marathon effort the Staff are really working hard for this year’s charity of the year. Look out for the latest news on our Facebook page or on Twitter
