His Majesty the King invited Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner to tour the scheme so they could see first-hand how good development can benefit the community.

The Prime Minister and deputy said they took the King up on his offer as they are keen to install a sense of community and a sense of place in their house building plans following the Labour government stating it will keep to its pledge to build 1.5-million new homes before the next general election.

The first stop of the tour was a visit to Newquay Orchard to learn how the scheme is a working example of how localised approaches can benefit health and wellbeing, promote sustainability and economic development in a community, particularly for those furthest away from employment or facing physical and mental health challenges.

They also took away with them how the Orchard was designed to help bind the Nansledan community to the rest of Newquay, with the Duchy of Cornwall supporting the development of the community building.
