The Duchy of Cornwall owns the beach.  Go William Go.

We'll fight them on the beaches! Prince William and Love Island star Lucie Donlan form unlikely alliance as they battle development of luxury GBP1m villas on the Cornish seafront

Locals are fighting plans to concrete up cliff face overlooking beach in Newquay

A large community group set up to fight the development  including model and keen surfer Ms Donlan, who starred on Love Island in 2019 has so far been ignored by Cornwall Council.

Earlier this year she was among hundreds who staged a demonstration, linking arms to stop attempts by diggers to begin excavating the caves below.

But work was stopped only when the Duchy of Cornwall, which owns part of the beach, responded to a plea from the group to use its 'power and position of authority' to stop the destruction.

The Duchy  which William inherited when his father became King  suspended the licence which gave builders access to the beach until it could prove the plans were safe and bird-nesting restrictions were being met.

Campaign spokesman Andrew Robey, 38, a teacher and lifeguard, said the royal intervention was key in saving the beach for the time being.

'The plans would ruin the beach, destroy the wildlife, and put people on the beach in danger,' he added.

'They're building second homes that'll just be left empty most of the year while there's a housing crisis here. Locals feel betrayed.'

^^^After reading the article, it appears that the cliff site is unstable and unsuitable for building.

Architect Ben Pentreath, on behalf of The Duchy of Cornwall, has submitted plans for a new 2,500-home neighbourhood, including 875 affordable homes, at Faversham in Kent

The latest plans, part of a wider programme spearheaded by Prince William, Duke of Cornwall, to build across the Duchy's vast nationwide estate, feature a broad range of house types, including Georgian and Victorian-style terraces, of which at least 875 will be designated 'affordable'.

According to the Duchy, at least 400 of these will be social rented homes 'tailored to local incomes, thereby ensuring genuine affordability for the local community'.-

I think this is an excellent and fair-minded plan, even though one might ask why only 400 of the 2,500 proposed homes will be 'geared to local incomes'. However, maybe this is just the beginning. For many years London people liking tourist destinations in counties like Dorset, Devon and Somerset for instance, have swooped in buying holiday and retirement cottages near the sea or in picturesque villages for themselves, leaving the adult children of local W/C families priced out of the housing market.

Thank you  for the update on the housing plan. I am a little surprised to see that it is in Kent, but then the Duchy of Cornwall owns property outside of the county.

'The proposal is to build the 2,500 homes on 320-acre agricultural land in the historic market town across 20 years.

The Duchy owns 320 acres of land in the southeast area of the town, running up to the M2 and the Brenley Corner junction. The application for consent which was put out to public consultation has left residents feeling furious'.

Another resident believed the housing proposal was not aligned with the royal's love for the environment.

Sarah Vomley wrote: "I always thought the Duchy cared about the environment and green spaces, seems I was wrong. They also can't (or won't) maintain the houses they already have."

Ms Vomley also believed Faversham did not have the infrastructure to support a development as it was difficult to get a doctor or dentist appointment in the area.

Resident James Addicott added: "My family are very proud 3rd-generation Duchy farmers and they feel ashamed and betrayed. No honour, just greed. We were hoping the Royals were maybe oblivious to it all, with good intentions, but it's all a gloss."
