Poundbury: A look at Prince Charles' sustainable village in Dorset, on its 30th birthday
adapted from https://www.telegraph.co.uk Graham Norwood , 26 April 2017
Wander
through many modern housing estates and you may get dispirited.
Homes
stacked high in designs identical to other developments across the country, the
streetscape mired with cars parked on driveways, roads and pavements. And as
for being able to walk to a school, workplace or supermarket – there’s no
guarantee.
If you think
that’s not good enough, you’re in good company: Prince Charles thinks the same. Yet unlike the rest of us, he’s
been able to do something about it. That something is called Poundbury.
Located just
outside Dorset’s county town of Dorchester, plans for this new sustainable
community were first revealed by the Prince in 1987. […]
More than
3,000 people now live there, with 2,000 working in 180 local businesses; 35 per
cent of the homes are affordable, rented or owned by people from local social
housing lists.
There are
plenty of unusual features. Some of the energy it uses comes from an anaerobic
digester on the edge of town run by local farmers, street signs are
deliberately few and far between, while most parking is behind rather than in
front of homes to allow spacious clutter-free streetscapes. Small businesses
mix with homes in the higgledy-piggledy streets, from a chocolate factory to a
tech company that makes parts for plane wings. There’s room for more than 80
start-up businesses dotted around the town. […]
In the
meantime, the royal influence is being felt elsewhere. At nearby Fordington, the Prince
wants to build 100 Arts & Craft-style homes – expect a planning application
later this year. Further south west at Newquay in Cornwall, the Prince already
has a small community established at Tregunnel Hill and another under
construction on a 540-acre site called Nansledan – Cornish for “broad valley”.
All three
sites stick to the principles enshrined in Poundbury – sustainable communities
with a strong local influence on their appearance and materials, with a mix of
private for sale and affordable homes.
To cynics
they are further examples of the Prince making flesh his architectural
pipe-dreams; to others, they might just be homes fit for a king – or, at least,
a king-in-waiting.
