POUNDBURY

Poundbury is an urban extension to the Dorset county town of Dorchester,
designed in accordance with the principles of architecture and urban planning as
advocated by His Majesty, King Charles III, in his book ‘A Vision of Britain’.

Poundbury, built on Duchy of Cornwall land, is currently home to some 5,000
people in a mix of private and affordable housing, as well as providing
employment for 2,730 people working in more than 250 shops, cafés, offices and
factories. A further 200 people are employed in construction across the site and
many more are self-employed and at times work from home.

LEARN MORE

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. 

HM King Charles, speaking as the 24th Duke of Cornwall

MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP

Poundbury is designed to create a sustainable community which achieves an
attractive, modern and pleasing place in which people can live, work, shop and
play. Particular emphasis is placed on the quality of place making through time
honoured principles, urban design, landscaping and the selection of materials. 

Every day hundreds of craftsman, specialist contractors and professionals work
on the buildings and infrastructure at Poundbury. From urban designers to
plumbers, builders and apprentices, many have learnt their trade in Poundbury.
CG Fry’s Steve Walker has been working here since its conception and wins awards
year after year for his management and remarkable knowledge of the project and
its delivery.

Local firms hosted a Careers Open Day Initiative in Poundbury in May 2019. The
aim of this event was to highlight the employment and training opportunities
available in the Construction Industry, particularly in Dorset.
