PRINCE Charles has banned washing lines, satellite dishes and DRUNKENNESS on his new housing development in Cornwall.
The Prince of Wales has imposed 85 rules on the Nansledan estate – with slamming doors and loud arguing also strictly off limits.
The housing development is a 540-acre extension to the town of Newquay built by the Prince’s Duchy of Cornwall.
Residents are banned from flying flags and must keep their bins out of sight unless on collection day.
A 35-page rulebook sets out that homeowners cannot have satellite dishes, plastic blinds, external drainpipes, solar panels, bubbled skylights, porches and caravans .
Slamming doors, loud arguing, prostitution and drunkenness, are also prohibited, according to the documents.
The guidelines tell residents they must not “act offensively, abusively or in an insulting manner”, “cause offence through drunkenness”, “make any unnecessary or excessive noise including by arguing or slamming of doors”, and “cause any annoyance or nuisance by pets including barking and fouling”.
Urban planner Peter Kelly called the restrictions “pretty terrifying”.
He said on Twitter: “Have a read of the very strict design and social code for Prince Charles‘s latest toy town – Nansledan. It’s pretty terrifying.
No flags in windows or on walls, satellite dishes, caravans, repairing of vehicles or washing lines allowed…”
The rules were set by the Duchy of Cornwall, not by the Prince himself, according to the Telegraph.
The estate has been built using traditional Cornish methods and the rules are to “protect the character” of Nansledan.
All stone and slate must be from a West Country quarry – with no red bricks allowed in the development.
In April, planning permission was granted for the latest phase of 265 homes which cost up to £500,000 each.
In an essay for The Architectural Review, he said: “I have lost count of the times I have been accused of wanting to turn the clock back to some Golden Age.
“Nothing could be further from my mind. My concern is the future.”
Clarence House has been contacted for comment.
