- This is my documentary "The Development of Poundbury" as part of my Final Major Project for my Film and TV First Year Course. The video is about Poundbury's development ever since planning was issued up until plans for the future to complete Poundbury. I also interview a variety of people to get their thoughts on this controversial town. Enjoy!

Something to bare in mind when listening to criticism of Poundbury, the poor get to live in nice houses and people who can afford to spend over a million pounds on a house actively choose to live next to them. Not a very "snob" thing to do.
Poundbury is over 30 years old now and people are prepared to spend 30% more per sqm to live there instead of somewhere else in Dorchester.
King Charlie did a great job and has shown up the architect snobs who refuse to design buildings and places that people actually want to live in.
Georgian architecture may be ancient, they took inspiration from the classical world 2000 years ago. Fact is, that it works well and people love to see it, own it and live in it. Cant say the same for modern glass and steel.
I agree with you on that one
We visited Poundbury whilst holidaying in Dorset this summer. We wanted to make our own minds up. We were blown away! We love the mixture of different houses/flats, the space, the easy parking and most of all the friendliness of people in shops and on the street. We did think some of the architecture reminded us of London so I can understand some local people might not like it. But it really isn’t grimy, horrendously expensive, London. It’s clean, you can walk everywhere without crowds and pollution, and we found people are very friendly. I guess it is, as some say, like Marmite. You either love it or hate it! Interesting documentary; thank you.
This was a really interesting documentary, it flowed and was easy to watch, it kept me interested. Well done. As for Poundbury, I'd never heard of it before, I think it looks like a lovely little town and I don't understand why there has been controversy about it, surely anywhere that provides jobs and affordable housing should get a thumbs up?
I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad it was interesting and easy to watch :) it's a controversial place and people are not too happy about how it is designed and how it does not keep up with it's neighbour, Dorchester. Many people say it's like a "toy town" and that it's a "ghost town" whereas many others are quite happy with it :)
I love how much sir Framtor cared about architecture and design. Though I think that even New Poundbury looks better than most UK suburbs. Great to see how Poundbury sparks discussion over what new urban developments should look like.
I agree, Poundbury sparks lots of discussions and it's interesting to see the conflicting opinions of the place!
Poundbury is a perfect example of how to build an aesthetically pleasing beautiful town with fantastic urban planning, towns these days are cluttered and congested the plan to reduce cars is a good one and more places should adopt this.
For those who say its 'fake' dont understand that all throughout history we have built new versions of old traditional buildings, no one would say that the buildings built during the gothic revival period are fake so how is taking inspiration from the Georgian period fake? This was clearly done to make a town that feels welcoming, as the late sir Roger scruton put it "Architecture, like dress, is an exercise in good manners, and good manners involve the habit of skillful insincerity - the habit of saying "good morning" to those whose mornings you would rather blight, and of passing the butter to those you would rather starve."
"There is a deep human need for beauty and if you ignore that need in architecture your buildings will not last"
Very well said!
The guy who said “I like poundbury, but not new poundbury” conveniently forgets his house was once new and upset people. NIMBY.
He's the kind of old fart that yells at kids "get off my lawn!" A miserable way to live.
Poundbury is charming! I would live there
It's an interesting place I would say :)
You did a fine job on this project. Best wishes for the future!
Thank you for the kind words :)
Poundbury is a heroic attempt to build a real and beautiful place from scratch. There aren't many places like that, and when it was begun there weren't any. Those who disapprove of it aren't worth listening to as they've no desire to do better than the blight we've currently got.
Poundbury is a lovely place!
Really enjoyed hearing from local people and their honest opinions and not just a sound bite.
Thank you :)
This is really cool, I've always been curious about Poundbury
Thank you for watching :)
An excellent overview of the new Poundbury development . Well put together and narrated You should do this for a job !!! Well done .
I appreciate the kind words Nick, thank you :)
I have always considered "Modern" domestic architecture an abomination, the Vernacular is far more livable than the straight jackets most people live in. Well done Sir!
Thank you! I definitely agree :)

Does "Chester" really come from the Celtic (0'46") ? I always understood it to come from the Latin "Castrum" meaning camp, as in military settlement.
You may actually be right! It's been a while since I've looked into Poundbury and Dorchester, and I remember seeing that "Dor" came from Latin and that "Chester" came from Celtic. I believe I took it from here, but it seems like the "Dor/Dorn" prefixes may have been from Latin AND Celtic languages, whereas "Cester" originally was an old English word for a Roman station. So "Chester" may actually originate from Latin. Good spot!
"By 864, the area around Durnovaria was dominated by the Saxons who referred to themselves as Dorsaetas, 'People of the Dor' - Durnovaria. The original local name would have been Dorn-gweir giving the Old English Dornwary. The town became known as Dornwaraceaster or Dornwaracester, combining the original name Dor/Dorn from the Latin and Celtic languages with cester, an Old English word for a Roman station. This name evolved over time to Dorncester/Dornceaster and Dorchester.[14]"

Keltic not seltic in this instance.
Good point, I realised this after.
Modern architecture is filth and so is many other things. A great vision his majesty had.

my only critique of the architecture is that to my knowledge it's entirely a visual thing, there still is overreliance on steel and modern concrete, which makes these timeless looking buildings a lot less timeless in reality. traditional should be more than visual flair, and also in practice.
I think that's kinda the point, good old looking architecture with modern technology; if we built "like we used to do" we wouldn't even have bathrooms or heating sistems for exemple; that would have no benefit.
@@lukiocciola well modern amenities and other eases of work are one thing, but it's kinda superficial when there's little respect shown for the olden craft.
what an interesting video
Thank you :)
Może być ale ja wole daleko od wody
No rozumiem
It's really sad that one woman felt that she had to move 50 miles away because of neighbours complaining about her potted plants outside her home and they had to be removed.
That is sad, on the other hand I think it is very clear that the philosophy of Poundbury is dense housing and lack of private gardens in favour of large public green areas and shared community buildings and public squares, so I am sure anyone moving in is given very clear guidelines that everyone adheres to. If that is something a potential resident objects to Poundbury may not be for them. Like one of the business owners mentioned, he doesn’t live in Poundbury as he wanted a private garden. I would also imagine there may be shared gardens or areas where people can garden together in cooperatives, so it wouldn’t be as if there is no opportunity to grow plants. I do appreciate that we all like our little garden/planters/balcony and perhaps those little green areas should be designed into new homes more.
@@viviennedunbar3374 you’re right. She probably didn’t realise. Her problem, definitely. She should have realised that before she moved in. It’s a shame it took so long for the authorities to act. Fool her.
Poundbury has no 'soul'
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. This is a covid aware video. Beeeeeeeep I thought this video was old.
😂😂
The old codger moaning is typical for the Not on my doorstep brigade. I doubt he contributed much to anything in his life.
Super 🤩
