Plans approved for first stage of Sherford community development

The first phase of a project to build a new community in Sherford, which will eventually include 5,500 houses and 890,000 sq ft of schools, shops, community spaces and leisure facilities, has finally received planning permission, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to reveal.

South Hams District Council and Plymouth City Council have given reserved matters consent for the initial phase, allowing construction to start on the first 570 homes, plus work such as streets and cycleways, playing fields, civic spaces and local environmental considerations.

The Sherford development area straddles three local authority boundaries – Plymouth City Council, Devon County Council and South Hams District Council – and the Sherford Consortium of developers are Taylor Wimpey, Bovis Homes and Linden Homes.

Work is expected to start on the new development in the autumn.

A residential development of this size is likely to involve numerous contractors and sub-contractors working on these sites, so every company that decided to get involved should also consider the implementation of a solid and reliable workforce management system, and this is exactly where Time & Attendance South West can help.
