King Charles embroiled in rural planning row over scheme to build 2,500 houses in ‘city mess’
Plans proposed by King Charles to build 2,500 homes on farmland close to an historic market city have been blasted by locals.
Residents in and close to Faversham, Kent, say the schemes “will swallow up historic villages” and switch the city into “an city mess”. The plans, which had been first introduced when the King, because the then Duke of Cornwall, managed the Duchy in 2018, search to build 120 houses annually throughout a 20-year interval.
An utility for consent for an preliminary 261 houses was submitted to the native council in December final 12 months, sparking outrage amongst locals who argue the city doesn’t have the infrastructure help such a growth. Some locals have claimed the proposals will negatively impression the native setting and contradict the monarch’s love for the pure world, whereas others say it’s going to improve visitors and air air pollution.
The homes are earmarked for a plot of land, which was acquired by the Duchy in 1999. The proposals have been put ahead to deal with the housing disaster and can ship an “superb city” according to the same city growth in Poundbury, Dorset.
