The Planning Podcast Ep 034 - Not just homes but a place - making a successful new settlement

In this episode of the Planning Podcast,  we go on journey; a sustainable journey around the Duchy of Cornwall’s development at Nansledan, Newquay, in Cornwall. But our journey is an ambitious one – a journey around an urban extension which really is a new place – which is walkable – which creates an economy and establishes a community. We have two guides. Lord Matthew Taylor is a key thinker behind the garden settlement movement and the pruning and rationalisation which resulted in the 2012 Framework. The Duchy’s Estates Director is Ben Murphy. He knows the vision, implementation and current function of this new community and new place like nobody else. We are privileged to have them both with us.
