Part of the land for development lies within Plymouth and the rest with the South Hams. Development on the site was originally due to start in 2007 and its first 300 dwellings were to be built in 2009. On August 2015, the construction of the new town started on the first 700 homes after South Hams council accepted a new planning application in December 2011,[1] formal planning permission was granted on 12 November 2013.[2] Homes will be built by a number of developers including Taylor Wimpey, Linden Homes and Bovis Homes, with progress now managed by specialist development managers, Brookbanks. The project is part funded by a £32 million repayable government loan. A new swimming pool will also be built in the town, which will be the closest pool to the residents of Plymstock.[1] It will include three primary schools, one secondary school, a library, a youth centre, a health centre and a new town centre with retail. Construction work on the first primary school and local centre square has recently started. Sherford Primary will open in September 2018. {{Update after|2018|09}} In total, the new town is expected to create 7000 new jobs.[2] Once completed, it is expected to have 5,500 dwellings built over the period of 20 years.[3] Over 1000 of the houses will be "low cost" due to the high discrepancy between house prices and wages in the area.[4] 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 will be within walking distance of residents' homes.[5] Whilst excavating the site, an ancient settlement was discovered, believed to be over 3000 years old.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Work starts on first 700 homes at Sherford new town after 15 years planning|url=http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Work-starts-700-homes-Sherford-new-town-15-years/story-22919899-detail/story.html|accessdate=16 August 2016|work=Plymouth Herald|date=13 September 2014}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Waddington|first1=Sarah|title=Inside Sherford: Look around new town on edge of Plymouth with exclusive videos and pictures|url=http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/inside-sherford-look-new-town-edge-plymouth/story-28802974-detail/story.html|accessdate=16 August 2016|work=Plymouth Herald|date=24 February 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Sherford New Community|url=http://www.southhams.gov.uk/article/4052/Sherford-New-Community|website=South Hams District Council|accessdate=16 August 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Can Sherford solve the shortage of affordable homes?|url=http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2016-04-22/can-sherford-solve-the-shortage-of-affordable-homes/|accessdate=16 August 2016|work=ITV News|date=22 April 2016}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/07-08/jun21.html|title=Hope for a Change|publisher=Quirks and Quarks|date=2008-06-21|accessdate=2008-06-23 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080627172123/http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/07-08/jun21.html |archivedate = 2008-06-27}} External links
