"Women in Black : Angel of Death"
Angelfish Films
Angelfish Films have contracted the use of Nocton Hall as a location for shooting the above film. It is important for Nocton residents to know the details and schedule of the filming, so they are aware of the activity taking place at Nocton Hall over the coming week.
Access to the Hall site will be via Khormaksar Drive and some larger vehicles will be used to transport equipment in the grounds later this week. LEDA Properties (the Hall owners), Anglian Water and Nocton Parish Council have all been informed of the filming. It is anticipated that things will run smoothly when the crews are on site and Angelfish Film’s own security personnel will be on site throughout the whole duration of the shoot. Therefore, this should eliminate the need for residents to telephone our Local Police Team regarding the activity at the Hall.
NB
Obviously, please do not hesitate to telephone the Local Police Team on 101 for any other things you maybe concerned about, other than Nocton Hall at this time.
The following times have been published by Angelfish Films as a schedule of the work taking place:
Prep Period
Sunday 24th November 2013 08:00 - 17:00

If there are any problems or further questions about this venture, please feel free to contact Nocton Parish Council noctonparishcouncil@hotmail.co.uk or telephone the Clerk 01526 321760 and your query can be directed to the film’s Location Scout/ Assistant Location Manager.
Thank you for now.

I wonder if this is the same production?

Unfortunately Angelfish Films have not felt it necessary to discuss this with the residents of Nocton Hall grounds, of whom there are about 40. We are only 50 m from the Hall and knew nothing about this until Jilly's email. There is mention of tall cranes and lighting which will almost certainly invade our privacy - I don't want people looking through the windows. What about access through the Hall grounds? Those of us who live there do not want access to our own homes impeded. And are there plans for noise at unsocial hours - as I can see a potential for night-time filming. Our plans may affect the filming too eg car noise. There has been filming before in the Hall grounds and no one ever discusses it with us first. Poor show, Angelfish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a small minded comment, why should any person discuss what they are doing on there land within there rights. By the way I'm cutting my grass soon should I send a letter to my neighbours, o and I washed my car. It's good to see the building used lets hope they are not put off like other enterprises that have tried to use the hall but were put off by residents
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your comments. Firstly, I can understand why residents of the Hall grounds feel they should have been consulted direct, but I can also see why an approach was made to the Parish Council to 'cascade' the information (as formal representatives for the village). Secondly, I don't think it is as simple as 'Anonymous' has suggested. The land and Nocton Hall is indeed owned by Leda Properties Ltd (not the residents of the grounds), but it all falls within the boundary of the village conservation area. Nocton Hall is on the English Heritage 'buildings at risk' register and is very unstable. It is also a Grade 2 Listed property... so there are other implications from any activities on this site... not least the Health & Safety risks for any personnel working near the Hall. Furthermore, it could be necessary to involve the District Council, as any 'change of use' of the site may require planning permission. So perhaps it could be more complicated than it first seems. Finally, as I have requested many times before, please will ALL people contributing to discussions on this blog be so courteous to leave their name (a first name will suffice), so that others can address them properly in any response. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteBloody hell no wonder the British film industry and indie film scene is so hard with such anal attitudes, outrageous. Hope there filming explosions and screaming loudly at 3am in reward for such grey and energy sapping words.

ReplyDeleteJust a thought, planning enforcement 28 days notice, after more then 52 days use in one year so not an issue. listed building consent, well an urgent repairs notice I don't think has been surved ( correct me if I,m wrong). And the LPA have declared the hospital site to have no amenity value, so not part of the listing. The material structure of the ruin (hall) is unaffected so English heritage not interested.
Having known this building for long, more damage occurs through ghost hunters, metal detector enthusiasts and local youths. NKDC could have bought the building but I would think they like the owners cannot make the sums add up.
And of course NKDC do not carry out enforcement outside of normal working hours.
I am not involved in this production but am often on location filming. Be assure production firms do their upmost to prevent disruption and are too busy to be nosey, it's usually the other way around, locals curtain twitching lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for your contributions folks. It was interesting to watch the proceedings tonight during filming. I was quite surprised to see just how many people are involved during a production and how busy it was. The UK should be promoting the film industry through more tax breaks and other incentives to make it easier for films to be made in this country, rather than losing them to overseas.
