Near St. Austell, Cornwall, a new 'Eco Town' called Imerys is to be created, using six former industrial china clay mining sites at West Carclaze and Baal, Par Docks, Goonbarrow, Blackpool and Nanpean and Drinnick. The overall plan includes 5000 new homes (up to 40% of which are described as 'affordable'), and encompasses creation of new jobs, a sustainable transport infrastructure, and leisure facilities which include 'green' space.
