Not the best, for what was a 200 point gain on the FTSE.

Oh well, I'm used to it...

[pilly11] 27/10/2011 11:43

Hahahahaha imastu i am thinking exactly the same!

[imastu pidgitaswell] 27/10/2011 11:39

I guess we've all seen the ONS projections of population increase in the UK:

2010 - 62.3m
2027 - 70m
2035 - 73m

Not at all pie in the sky, after all UK population has grown 3m in the last 7 years or so.

IMV it does mean that certain industries become safe bets to grow in real terms:

UK-centric
retailers
builders
etc

After all, over the next 15 years the size of the pie increases by 1% pa IN REAL TERMS

Ie in nominal terms maybe 3-6% EVERY YEAR.

I've seen the Nielsen figures for retail multiples (supermarkets) growth in both store numbers and additional floor space over the last 5 years and it's actually quite amazing.

They are gearing up for a market that will be 15% bigger IN REAL TERMS within little over 15 years. Phenomenal growth for such a sector.

Since some will grow at the expense of others, we'll see the successful ones growing value by maybe 30% in REAL TERMS ie perhaps 100% in nominal terms within 15 years.

Nice.

Same true of housing sector, everybody has to live somewhere.

Low volumes right now last 10 mins

[imastu pidgitaswell] 26/10/2011 16:20

Interesting little surge, if it closes here - mirrors in the sector, but not to the same extent...

[sir rational] 26/10/2011 15:28

I'll take it!

[pilly11] 24/10/2011 21:37

Been very odd for the past 5 days - stuck in some sort of straddle, where 38 and 36 cannot be breached:




Just makes it all the more exciting when it breaks.................up?

[sir rational] 18/10/2011 12:01

Very odd start - somebody got a very poor price on the sell side and somebody picked up a bit of a bargain on the buy side

Taylor Wimpey has secured planning approval for the redevelopment of the former Whittingham Hospital in Preston.

The house builder has now committed to transform the site into an 650-homes, mixed use development.

Manchester based HOW Planning secured full planning from Preston City Council.

A further decision by delegated consent is expected for a change of use and listed building consent for the redevelopment of St John's Church.


The approval also paves the way for up to 9,000 sq m of offices, a primary school and sports and recreational facilities as well as new access and public realm improvements.

The former St John's Church will also be converted to a community facility.

The former hospital, which is owned by the Homes and Communities Agency, is now derelict and has been brought forward for redevelopment by the HCA and partners Taylor Wimpey.

Gareth Owen, regional land director for Taylor Wimpey North West, said: "We have been working closely with the HCA and all our advisers for a long time to ensure this development meets all expectations and ambitions for the area.

"This announcement enables us to progress with the scheme and ensure this major regeneration programme becomes a reality."

Deborah McLaughlin, executive director North West at the HCA, added: "It is great news that the Whittingham Hospital scheme has been given the green light.

"I'm now looking forward to seeing work start on this important scheme that will bring new homes, improved community facilities, transport links, and open spaces to the area."

The team involved with the Whittingham scheme include project managers Tec Projex; architects MPSL Planning & Design and MCK Associates; environmental consultants TEP; and engineers Lees Roxburgh.
