Sustainability
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.
It’s phenomenally successful, popular and has risen in value. Having seen for myself its beautiful homes and huge sense of community, it’s clear to me this experiment is a real success. What I love about Poundbury is the fact it’s thrown out the rulebook. It certainly takes inspiration from the past but I think it could be a blueprint for the future.
