OVERVIEW Poundbury is an urban extension to the Dorset county town of Dorchester, built on Duchy of Cornwall land, according to principles of architecture and urban planning as advocated by HRH The Prince of Wales in his book ‘A Vision of Britain’.
It is currently home to some 3,000 people in a mix of private and affordable housing, as well as providing employment for some2,364peopleworkinginthe187shops,cafés,officesand factories. A further 550 are employed in construction across the site.
Begun in 1993, Poundbury is based on some of the timeless principles that have enabled many places around Britain to endure and thrive over the centuries. It is a high density urban extension of Dorchester which gives priority to people, rather than cars, and where commercial buildings are mixed with residential areas, shops and leisure facilities to create a walkable community. The result is an attractive and pleasing place, in which people live, work, shop and play.
Poundbury was planned to challenge some of the zonal planning assumptions of the latter part of the 20th Century which led to ghettoised housing estates and out of town shopping centres, forcing ever greater reliance on the car.
Poundbury is an integrated rather than zoned development, with affordable housing (35%) and private housing sharing a public realm with the many businesses.
As Poundbury has developed, it has demonstrated that there is a genuine alternative to the way in which we build new communities in this country.
According to an independent survey conducted by Oxford Brookes University in 2014, 86% of Poundbury residents were pleased to have moved to the development.
A second survey of Poundbury businesses in 2015 found:
In 2010, Dorset County Council completed an economic impact assessment of Poundbury, which concluded that the Poundbury development had contributed over £330 million in demand for goods and services to the local economy and would contribute a further £500 million by 2025. The report estimated that from 1993 to 2010 the construction activity alone had created the equivalent of 1,877 person-years in employment and 1,049 business-years of work for business around Dorchester including the self-employed. In Poundbury itselftherearealreadyover2,364peopleworkinginoffices,shops and factories.
In 2016 Savills Research cited Poundbury in its report ‘The Value of Placemaking in Development’. It found that early spend on infrastructure, local amenities and public spaces creates better places and delivers higher returns, “which enables the delivery of neighbourhoods communities want.”
The success of Poundbury has now been recognised beyond Dorset and many of the founding principles have been incorporated back into national and local planning policy.Poundburyisalsoprovingtobeincreasinglyinfluentialwithan international audience, attracting interest and generating many organised tours every year from architects, town planners, academics and developers across the globe.

HISTORY: THE MASTERPLAN

LEON KRIER AND ANDREW HAMILTON WITH THE PRINCE OF WALES
In 1987 the local planning authority, West Dorset District Council, selected Duchy of Cornwall land to the west of Dorchester for future expansion of the town. As Duke of Cornwall, The Prince of Wales – who re-examined many of the precepts of urban and rural planning in his book ‘A Vision of Britain’ – took the opportunity to work with the council to create a model urban extension to this ancient market town.
In 1988, The Prince of Wales appointed the well-known architect and urban planner, Leon Krier, to work on an overall concept for 400 acres of land of what would become Poundbury. Krier’s challenge was to create an autonomous new extension to the town within the context of traditional Dorset architecture, using the urban design principles described in ‘A Vision of Britain’.
In 1989, the Poundbury Masterplan was exhibited in Dorchester at a Planning Weekend attended by The Prince of Wales. Local residents and interested parties were invited to share their opinions and the feedback was reflectedintheschemedesignsbeforeplanningconsentwassought.
The resulting Masterplan divided Poundbury into four distinctive quarters –withconstructionworkcommencingonthefirstphaseinOctober1993. Poundbury will be built out by circa 2025. It is expected that when completed, Dorchester’s population will increase by about one quarter, with approximately 5,000 people in Poundbury.
By April 2018, Poundbury had become home to over 3,000 people with 2,364 people working full-time and part-time in 187 businesses. Poundbury is approximately two thirds built and is planned to grow to around 2,500 homes by 2025.
The Duchy of Cornwall continues to consult with the local community to ensurethecommunitybenefitsfrombuildingsandpublicamenities.Thelatest consultation events include new community facilities for The Great Field and plans for Jubilee Hall.

Poundbury is not just about architecture. It is very much to do with creating a sustainable community which achieves an attractive, modern and pleasing place in which people can live, work, shop and play. Emphasis is placed on the quality of place making through urban design and the choice of materials, landscaping, and attention to detail down to street furniture and signage.
The Prince of Wales believes that one of our country’s greatest strengths is the regional variation of its towns and villages, built with locally distinctive materials.ThearchitectureatPoundburyfitsthispattern,respectinglocalstyles, drawing on the rich heritage of Dorset, and in particular, the streets of Dorchester.
The architects working at Poundbury, several of whom are based in Dorset, adhere to the building code which promotes the use of shared space and regulates features such as roof angles and features. Quality of design and workmanship is controlled by the Duchy through legally-binding Building Agreements with each developer before the freehold is released.
Parking is generally provided in landscaped courtyards to the rear of properties, which also incorporate housing including coach houses above parking spaces and ancillary spaces for playrooms and workshops. Provision fortheseextraspacesrecognisestheincreasingdemandsforflexiblelivingarrangements and allows people to work from home. Larger commercial buildings are generally sited for better vehicular access, but are designed similarly to frame their sites and create a sense of enclosure.

SHARED SPACE - A WALKABLE COMMUNITYIn Poundbury, priority is given to people rather than cars to help create a sense of community and a feeling of safety. The principles of shared space in Poundbury’s streets and squares have inspired town planners all over the world.
The irregular design of streets constrain car speeds, and by minimising road signs, directions and road markings, shared spaces pass the responsibility back onto the motorist to think about how they interact with other road users.
“At Poundbury the entire Masterplan was based upon placing the pedestrian, and not the car, at the centre of the design.”
The Prince of Wales
MIXED USEAnother innovative concept for new development was how Poundbury integrates residential, retail and business uses with public amenities, so many people are able to live and work without the reliance on motor vehicles.
Most of your daily needs can therefore be met on foot, but there is nevertheless ample provision for car parking with very little restrictions.
Parking is generally provided in landscaped courtyards at the rear of properties which also incorporate housing and coach houses with ancillary spaces for playrooms and workshops. Provision for these extra spaces recognisestheincreasingdemandsforflexiblelivingarrangementsandallows people to work from home.
POUNDBURY IS DESIGNED SO MOST OF YOUR DAILY NEEDS CAN BE MET ON FOOT

One of the more innovative ideas suggested by The Prince of Wales in ‘A Vision of Britain’ in 1989, was to build private and social housing alongside one another rather than continuing to build huge ghettoised housing estates.
In Poundbury, private and affordable housing are interspersed and indistinguishable from each other. As a result, the community is more cohesive. Current guidelines require 35% of housing in Poundbury to be affordable and The Duchy continues to explore innovative ways in which the local housing need can be met.
According to The Guinness Partnership – which provides much of the affordable housing – Poundbury is its most successful and trouble-free site with residents reporting a higher level of satisfaction than elsewhere. The partnership has used principles learnt in Poundbury across the UK. In 2015 the partnership completed its 250th home in Poundbury.
“Providing housing of this quality really can improve people’s lives and open up a lot of opportunities that would otherwise not be afforded to them.”
The Guinness Partnership
For example The Duchy has been pioneering a Discount to Open Market SchemewithZeroCHoldingsinPoundbury.Itallowsfirsttimebuyersto purchase properties with a 25-30% discount. The buyer retains 100% ownership of the property but must sell the home on with the same discount. The difference between this and other Government schemes is that the homes willremaindiscountedinperpetuityforfuturefirsttimebuyerstobenefitfrom. To be eligible for the scheme applicants must be on West Dorset District Council’s Housing List and have a combined income below £60,000 per annum.

Subject to no major change in the assumptions made, it can be estimated that on a permanent basis Poundbury will have added to the local economy:
Approximately £834 million increased demand for local goods and services over the life of the project (direct impact about £33 million)
Equivalent to local GVA increased by about £285 million over the life of the project (direct impact £17 million)
4,700 people-years of employment (direct impact 3,000 people-years)
3,000 business-years including self-employment (direct impact 2,100 business years)
In July 2010, Dorset County Council undertook an Economic Impact Assessment of the Poundbury development for the Duchy of Cornwall. This report summarised the impact of the development to date and a projection of its further impact once development is complete in 2025.
The Assessment concluded that the development has considerable impact on the surrounding area in terms of employment, business growth and associated gains in household income and value added.

Poundbury is home to over 3,000 people with 2,364 people working in 187 businesses. These businesses range from big international companies to small family run artisan eateries and boutiques. Half of the businesses operating in Poundbury launched their businesses there and new ventures continue to open each year.
Both Dorset Cereals and House of Dorchester (chocolates) are based in Poundbury and now have a global audience.
An independent Business Survey conducted by Oxford Brookes University in 2015 found:
It is clear that some of these estimates have already been exceeded and a new Economic Imapct Assesment will be undertaken before completion of the development

Nearly a quarter of a century into the build, there are now more than 3,000 people living and 2,364 people working in Poundbury. There are various community groups such as a choir, hobby clubs, a popular weekly toddler playgroup, gardening and walking groups.
There are two different allotments with their own societies and a thriving business community, who often arrange events for local residents such as Christmas markets, Easter egg hunts and community picnics.
Every August the Dorset Food & Arts Festival is held in Queen Mother Square, which attracts thousands of people to this popular event promoting local artisan food and drink.
The early involvement of the local businesses and residents has helped to create a place with a strong community spirit, which meets people’s needs, desires and aspirations, and engenders civic pride.

There are three Estate Management Companies ( MANCOs 1,2,3) covering various phases of development.
The MANCOs are responsible for the upkeep of the unadopted areas of Poundbury i.e. those areas not adopted and maintained by the local authorities.
Residential and commercial occupiers are issued with shares and voting rights for their respective MANCO areas (1 per householdand1per4,000ft.²grossinternalfloorspaceforcommercial/retail).
Annual estate charge is levied (currently £120 for MANCO 1, £150 for MANCO 2 and £130 for MANCO 3). Invoices & accountsareadministeredwithindependentverification.
AGMs are held annually and the agenda covers: appointment of new directors, approval of accounts and previous minutes, issues affecting MANCO areas e.g. street lighting, road cleaning, tree maintenance etc.
The Guinness Partnership appointed a Director to join the existing boards to represent their tenants in Poundbury.
ESTATE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES POUNDBURY RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION
The Association is non-political and is for all residents of Poundbury, whether owners or tenants, and the community generally.
It is managed by an elected committee of local residents and business owners who are passionate about the community spirit in Poundbury and want to work with the residents to make Poundbury a great place to live, work and play.
Open meetings are held quarterly in the Brownsword Hall, Pummery Square, and usually feature an external speaker.
Agendas cover a spectrum of topical interest central to the development of the community, including environmental matters and contribution to planning decisions. Contributions from residents are particularly encouraged.

The second phase of the development was granted outline planning permission in October 1999, providing approx. 900 dwellings and 6ha of employment space over a 10 year development period. Middle Farm Way, relieving Bridport Road, was constructed in 2006. As from 2005 the Duchy has provided 35% affordable housing in Phase 2. The focus of Phase 2 is The Queen Mother Square, formally opened by Her Majesty The Queen in October 2016.
This provides further retail and commercial opportunities including a Waitrose store, wine shop and traditional butchers.

PHASE 2
Pummery Square forms the ‘hub’ of Phase 1, also linking through to the Victoria Park development to the east. The permeable network of roads, alleyways and parking courtyards in Phase 1 fan out from the hub to give immediacy to the facilities within the Square.
The dominant building is the Brownsword Hall, designed by John Simpson, in the idiom of a traditional West Country market hall. The upper chamber is effectively Poundbury’s community hall, managed by the Poundbury Village Hall Trust and hired out for community, private and commercial events.
The surface of the Square belongs to the Brownsword Hall and is used for occasional public and theatrical events as well as a car park.

PARKWAY FARM Parkway Farm is a 2ha site south of Middle Farm Way. This site is being developed for heavier industrial uses (B2), which cannot be integrated with residential.
Weymouth College moved its Centre of Vocational Excellence in Stonemasonry Skills to Parkway Farm in 2008. Here, in addition to stone masonry, students learn traditional craft skills such as conventional construction techniques including plastering, wall tiling and plumbing. Stonemasonry students from all over Europe travel to attend the stonemasonry school.
In 2016 the Dorset Centre for Creative Arts opened, which offers short art courses and specialises in traditional skills such as Viking jewellery and bronzecastingaswellascreativewritingandfilmmakingclasses.

On 27 October 2016, Her Majesty The Queen paid a special visit to Poundbury alongside HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, and TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.
Her Majesty The Queen unveiled a statue of her mother in front of thousands of people who turned up for the momentous occasion. The event was to mark theofficialopeningofQueenMotherSquareandtorecognisethehardworkand achievements of all those involved in the design and build of Poundbury over the last 23 years.
“I am deeply grateful to their teams of talented craftsmen, many of whom are Dorset men through and through. For me one of the most essential features of Poundbury has been its mixed use, mixed income composition - a dangerously
revolutionary move 25 years ago. So particular thanks goes to the social-housing providers, notably The Guinness Partnership of which I am patron.”

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn in Queen Mother Square opened to the public following an earlier unveiling by The Duchess of Cornwall on the same momentous day. Named at the suggestion of HRH The Prince of Wales in honour of Her Royal Highness, the new inn is a joint venture between the Duchy of Cornwall and Dorset’s Hall & Woodhouse brewery. The inn provides 20 hotel guest rooms as well as restaurant facilities and traditional public house offerings.
Their Royal Highnesses have long supported local pubs as a hub of community life and in Poundbury, The Duchess pulled a pint of “The Duchess”, a specially created ale, to mark the completion of the venue.

Outline planning permission was granted by West Dorset District Council in September 2011 for the remainder of Poundbury (44 hectares), which covers the northern and western perimeters. This includes 1,200 dwellings, anewfour-form,20classroomentryfirstschoolwhichreplacedDamersFirstSchool in Dorchester, and alterations to the Monkey’s Jump Roundabout (Dorchester Bypass).
THE NORTH EAST QUADRANTOn completion in 2020, this quadrant will have delivered an extra 550 homes, rangingfromfive-bedroomhousestoone-bedroomapartments. A total of 35% of the homes are built for affordable rent, shared ownership anddiscountedhomesforsaletofirsttimebuyers.
The site covers 15.8ha comprising of 550 homes and 5,000m² of employment space, generating an average density of 33 dwellings/ha.
The North East Quadrant follows the principles set out in previous phases of the development and taken up in the Poundbury Development Brief (published by West Dorset District Council in 2006 and available to view at www.dorsetforyou.com).
The next phase of Poundbury will be the Northern Quadrant. If the planning application is successful, construction of the 350 homes will commence next year. The North West Quadrant is the last phase of construction in Poundbury which is planned to start in 2022. By completion in around 2025 it is expected that Poundbury will have increased Dorchester’s population by a quarter, some 5,000 residents, in around 2,500 homes and created a similar number of jobs.

“When I set out on this venture, I was determined that Poundbury
would break the mould of conventional housing development
in this country, and create an attractive place for people to
live, work and play. Many people said that it could never succeed but I am happy to say that the sceptics were wrong and it is
now a thriving urban settlement alongside Dorchester.”

SUSTAINABILITY
DUCHY PROJECT MANAGER PETER JAMES IN RAINBARROW FARM
The concept of sustainability has been at the heart of the Poundbury masterplan from the outset. Many different methods of improving and advancing carbon reductions have also been explored.

A joint venture partnership was formed (JV Energen LLP) between the Duchy of Cornwall and a local farmer, who needed more sustainable break crops and fertiliser sources, and Active Business Partnerships, which helped to unite the project and formulate the business structure to take the project forward.
In June 2013 JV Energen won the British Renewable Energy Leadership Award 2013, against over 200 nominations across nine categories.

ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING POINTS
There are two public car charging points in Queen Mother Square. The unit is a Rolec Sercuricharge and tokens can be purchased in the garden centre and restaurant for £1, with several more planned across the site.

THE RESTORED JUBILEE HALL
Kings Point House is a mixed development of apartments, houses and commercial units with a total of 24 units being supplied by a KWB 100kW biomass wood pellet boiler with a 100kW gas back up.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY A Poundbury based eco-company has been working on a range of sustainable energy solutions for residents. This includes power walls that can help homeowners become sustainable by generating electricity by sunlight in the day and powering the home in the evening. Other homeowners have had electric car and bike charging points installed. A popular e-bike shop in Poundbury champions the benefits of e-bikes in the community.
RESTORING THE JUBILEE HALL In Queen Mother Square, the Jubilee Hall incorporates structural elements of The Royal Jubilee Hall from the nearby town of Weymouth.
The original Jubilee Hall was erected in 1887 with much local pride to commemorate the 50 year reign of HM Queen Victoria.
It served as a music hall and theatre, but despite a spirited campaign from local environmentalist Dr Geoffrey Poole, it was demolished in 1989 to make way for a town centre retail development in Weymouth. Its structurally important cast iron features were salvaged and laid to rest in a quarry at Portland.
The Duchy of Cornwall and Woodpecker Properties eventually recovered the historic cast iron columns and brackets and incorporated them in the modern Jubilee Hall in Kings Point House. The Duchy started in the spring of 2018, to ask the community what type of new community space and facilities they would like to see in the new hall, inviting groups to come forward and operate such a facility.

“The real point of Poundbury is not how it looks but how it works. For it is now difficult to remember how revolutionary Poundbury has been. Before Poundbury, it was axiomatic that cars came first.” Clive Aslet, The Times, 2016
“In Poundbury, the masterplan for the overall scheme delivers higher densities within a walkable neighbourhood, which promotes healthier lifestyles, helps support the local shops and increases land value… New build values are up to 29% higher than on other new build schemes in the area on a type for type basis in the past year”. Richard Rees, Savills Research on The Value of Placemaking, 2016
“As I saw for myself last November, Poundbury is a great example of a truly mixed community, combining affordable and open market housing and all built to excellent design standards. It’s places like Poundbury that drive me to want to push up not just building the new homes we need, but the look and quality of them, so people everywhere in the country can benefit from high quality housing.” Brandon Lewis MP, Housing & Planning Minister, 2015
“Poundbury is arguably the most famous example of successful master-planning in the country.” Matthew Taylor MP July 2008, from ‘Living Working Countryside. The Taylor Review of Rural Economy and Affordable Housing.’
“Charles was right: we like where we live to feel familiar.” The Times Newspaper – http://www.timesonline.co.uk
“For a long time the butt of criticism from the fashionable architectural commissars, it is now a point of pilgrimage for planners.” Anne Spackman, Financial Times
“We hate to say it, but Charles was right.” Martin Spring, Building Magazine
“I think Poundbury is fascinating. What’s interesting is that it’s not just about housing, there is a sense of community ownership. The strongest lesson is that if you listen to local people and you allow them to have a strong voice in creating the kind of communities they want to live in, that’s how you’ll get lasting success. What’s most impressive was that it’s pedestrian-friendly…” The Rt. Hon Hazel Blears MP, Secretary of State for Communities & Local Government
“Why shouldn’t this be the average housing estate? What is being done here is very important work for this country’s urban future.” John Prescott, Former Deputy Prime Minister
