Go ahead for first new town homes
The town will be made up of small, linked communities
Building work on the first 300 homes in a new development in Devon could begin next year.
City councillors voted unanimously to approve revised plans for the Sherford Valley development in the South Hams.
The revised proposals include sports facilities and a main link road, but there now will be fewer affordable homes because of market conditions.
Up to 5,500 homes could eventually be built in the Sherford Valley, on the outskirts of Plymouth.
The Red Tree development will be made up of small, linked communities.
