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. [2] 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.) [3]

Nansledan will have a Market Street with shops, while Nansledan school opened in September 2019 [note 1] It will cater for 420 pupils, and had 152 when it opened. [5] .

Building materials have come mainly from three Cornish quarries; [6]

The first residents moved into Nansledan in 2015.

Notes

  1. It was officially opened by the Prince of Wales in March 2020, but had welcomed its first pupils in September 2019 to coincide with the start of the school year. [4]
