The Duchy of Cornwall’s proposals to build a new 2,500-home district in Kent, have been put out to public consultation.

Prince William’s estate has a large land holding to the south-east of Faversham and is keen to deliver “the next Poundbury and Nansledan” at the 135.7ha site, according to documents submitted to Swale Borough Council.

A masterplan for the project was submitted by Ben Pentreath in December last year and validated in late February. It seeks detailed consent for an initial 261 homes at the site along with 3,021sq m of non-residential space – including a local centre with shops, community space and business space.
