Sherford is a new town to be built in Devon, England. Part of the land for development lies within Plymouth and the rest with the South Hams. Development on the site started in 2007 and initial infrastructure work started in 2008. Its first 300 dwellings will be built in 2009 and when finished (2017–2021) it will have 5,500 dwellings.[1] The town planning will use traditional urbanisation to make the town carbon neutral by constructing energy efficient buildings and laying out the town, so that people live close to a main street. The aim is that shops, schools and businesses are within walking distance of the resident's home.[2]
Sherford has not yet been built. The previous planning permission was granted, but no houses were built and the planning permission has run out. South Hams council accepted a new planning application December 2011, however no developments will take place until Plymouth City Council approves planning in Feb/March 2012.
