The South Hams District Council’s Quality Vision for the Sherford New Community is to create a quality, sustainable development with a vibrant, balanced community where people choose to live, work and spend their leisure time, and which incorporates;
- A sustainable development delivering an excellent quality of life, within a well designed high quality environment.
- A strong and healthy community.
- A high quality new community, with good locally distinctive design.
- A mixed use development, prioritising affordable homes, local job opportunities and a full range of community facilities from the outset.
- Safe and convenient movement, incorporating a high quality, high capacity public transport system from the outset.
- Clean, attractive, high quality public spaces throughout the development, including a large scale community park forming the eastern boundary.
- Responding to the challenges of ‘climate change’ and the need for sustainable development and maximising the opportunities for sustainable lifestyles.
- Development which meets the housing needs of the Plymouth sub-region which cannot be accommodated within the city boundary, and the needs generated from within the South Hams.
