Prince William plans to build a new “garden city” with 2,500 homes in the UK.
By constructing hundreds of reasonably priced homes throughout the Duchy of Cornwall, the Prince of Wales hopes to address the social housing issue.
Thirty percent of these will go to low-income households, which is three times the amount needed for new projects.
The 320-acre development will feature a primary school, a large number of stores, and job possibilities close to Faversham, Kent.
It is thought that the proposal that was sent to Swale Borough Council is almost completely approved by officials.
It is anticipated that a choice will be made by January 31.
Royal sources described the project as a “game changer”.
They told The Daily Mirror: “It could open up a range of possibilities to transform Britain’s house-building crisis.”
Prince William, 41, took over the 130,000-acre Duchy of Cornwall from King Charles after Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
Its assets, which span from Cornwall to Kent, total more than £1 billion.
The Prince of Wales wants the Duchy, which has housing developments in Newquay and Dorchester, to commit to constructing communal homes on the private estate.
