National Urban Design Award for Nansledan, Newquay

Nansledan was recognised by the National Urban Design Awards 2021 as a winner in the Framework + Masterplan Large category. This is a great achievement for everyone involved in this project, including our client The Duchy of Cornwall, house builders CG Fry & Son, Morrish Homes and Wainhomes, civil engineering consultant AWP and landscape architect Fabrik, and architects ALA Architects, Purl Design and Yiangou Architects.

Nansledan is a 218-hectare mixed-use, mixed-tenure, sustainable urban extension to Newquay. As a genuinely walkable community, residents of Nansledan can meet their daily needs on foot, while also having strong physical connections with Newquay, thus bolstering the town and its socio-economic performance.

The judges commented: “Where most new developments provide no more than housing, Nansledan is a genuine piece of town-making. The project is compact, walkable and, when complete, will offer a wide range of on-site jobs and facilities. The use of the Development Control Order planning model looks set to streamline delivery, while ensuring a high-quality outcome.”
