Prince Charles' private estate has collaborated with architect Ben Pentreath to create plans for a sustainable town in Faversham.

"Everyone is still going to use cars to get to their white collar work," added Stoney Elephant. "If you don't want that, then what this really is is a retirement village like the ones they have in Florida."
"Country homes for the rich," concluded Derek Birch. "Disappointed in him."
