About

Poundbury is an urban extension of Dorchester, developed on Duchy of Cornwall land according to principles of architecture and urban planning advocated by King Charles III. The layout emphasises traditional design, walkability, and mixed-use development, integrating residential, commercial, and light industrial spaces. Its street patterns and building styles aim to create a cohesive community feel, with a focus on high-density living and reducing car dependency through integrated design.

The area includes a range of housing types, from apartments to larger homes, alongside shops, offices, and a brewery. A notable feature is the presence of the Dorset County Hospital within its boundary, which is a major local employer. The development is ongoing, with further phases planned to expand the community. Its design intentionally avoids conventional suburban layouts, promoting a specific model of urban living.
