Prince William recently visited Newquay, a notable town in Cornwall recognized for its surfing culture. His visit focused on the newly developed suburb of Nansledan, which is touted as a “sustainable urban extension” of the town.
Exploring Nansledan’s Market Street Project
The Prince of Wales aimed to understand the ongoing developments within the Market Street project. This initiative has been under the auspices of the Duchy of Cornwall since 2013.
Key Features of Nansledan
Nansledan boasts an impressive array of community features:
- Approximately 900 homes available
- A newly constructed primary school
- Offices and a community centre
- Over 40 local businesses
During his visit, Prince William met families residing in the new area, including Jess and Nick Dunstan. This couple appreciates the opportunity to rent from the Duchy in the newly built suburb.
Focus on Build-to-Rent Homes
The Build-to-Rent homes are designed for long-term leases, catering to renters rather than buyers. This model aims to provide stability for families in the region.
The Prince’s engagement in this sustainable urban development reflects a broader commitment to community-building and enhancing local living conditions.
