Nansledan

Nansledan is a major new suburb of Newquay in Cornwall, England. Nansledan has been developed by the estate of the Duchy of Cornwall since 2013, with residents first occupying their homes in 2015. The development, officially described as 'an extension of Newquay', had the endorsement of King Charles III during his time as Duke of Cornwall.
Nansledan is expected to have up to 4,400 homes once completed.
==History==
The project was started in 2013 and initially attracted the nickname Surfbury, a mix of Poundbury, created by the Duchy of Cornwall in the 1990s, and the fact that Newquay is regarded as the British 'capital' of surfing. The development was named Nansledan, inspired by the area in which it is built. Nansledan means Broad Valley in Cornish, a theme which continues in the street names and the school (Skol Nansledan - which means School Nansledan.)
Nansledan will have a Market Street with shops, while Nansledan school opened in September 2019 It will cater for 420 pupils, and had 152 when it opened.
Building materials have come mainly from three Cornish quarries;
* Slate from Trelivett Quarry near Tintagel, 
* Granite, used in kerbs, paving, lintels and window sills from De Lank Quarry at Bodmin
* Roofing slate from Delabole Quarry
The first residents moved into Nansledan in 2015.
In February 2024, Prince William, Duke of Cornwall, in partnership with Cornish charity St Petrocs, announced plans for building 24 homes on Duchy of Cornwall land in Nansledan to provide temporary accommodation for people experiencing homelessness in the area. The homes' development was set to begin in September 2024, with the first homes being completed by autumn 2025.
