Prince Charles announces plans for new town in Kent
Prince Charles' private estate has revealed plans for a sustainable, "landscape-led" new town in Faversham, Kent, created in collaboration with architect Ben Pentreath.
South East Faversham is a proposed extension to Faversham, a market town in Kent, England, located 48 miles from London.

The town will be built on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, which is a private estate founded in 1337 in order to fund projects attached to the Prince of Wales ? currently Prince Charles.
The Duchy has designed the project with Pentreath, an English architect and interior designer, and landscape architect Kim Wilkie.

South East Faversham will comprise 131 hectares of rural land to the southeast of Faversham, positioned between the A2 Canterbury Road and the M2 motorway. Dissected by two roads and the Faversham to Canterbury railway line, the new town aims to provide housing for a mixed-income community.

"The Duchy has drawn together an emerging master plan to deliver 2,500 homes with an aspiration to provide 2,500 jobs," said the estate.
"The proposals are to bring forward a very high quality, sustainable, mixed-use settlement that will become a thriving new urban extension to the town."
