KOSTI VEUR NANSLEDAN DESIGN AND COMMUNITY CODE February 2017 A note to new residents from the Estate Surveyor to the Duchy of Cornwall Welcome to Nansledan! I hope very much that your decision to live here reflects your appreciation of what we are trying to do to make Nansledan a genuinely liveable community—a place that will continue to be treasured as it matures over the centuries that lie ahead. This booklet is really important as it explains the philosophy and reasons behind the strong controls that the Duchy of Cornwall retains in Nansledan. If you have ideas on how to improve your property or are planning on making any alterations to it please make contact with the Duchy of Cornwall first so that we can help guide you forward with a successful application for consent. With best wishes, Tim Gray Estate Surveyor Duchy of Cornwall 10 Buckingham Gate Telephone: 020 7834 7346 London E-mail:
