Prince Charles is facing a challenge on his plans to build 2,500 eco homes following a legal dispute between a local developer and the planning authority. 

The Duchy of Cornwall estate wants to build the eco homes on 320 acres of agricultural land near Faversham in Kent, which will all be powered by renewable energy, to help tackle the lack of housing in the area.
