The Saltash Plan

Scenario 4

Scenario 4: Today’s Saltash and New Villages

What if… Saltash grows in all directions with new villages at Trematon and Trehan?

Key Features

  • Saltash grows by 66% to 25,000 population with approx. 4,300 homes at Treledan, at previously developed and Waterside sites within the town and extensions to Pill, Carkeel, beyond Latchbrook and below St. Stephens and new/extended villages at Trematon and Trehan and major employment land east of Carkeel (Hole Farm)
  • Includes a new primary school at Pill, and a new primary school at Trematon to serve it and Trehan; a new health centre at Treledan with improved outreach services to the new villages; high quality bus services and upgraded public rights of way connecting the villages with Saltash
  • Prevention of settlement merger by designating local gaps

Key Effects

  • Improves access to school places and healthcare
  • Significant dependency on improving active travel and bus service infrastructure to connect new housing to the town
  • Significant new employment land
  • Adverse landscape effects, including major development in the National Landscape
  • Growth distributed all round the town and its edges but at a scale that delivers infrastructure improvements

What could it look like?

Diagram of Scenario 4 for Saltash. Saltash is an outlined oval south of the A38, with the Town Centre and the Waterside in its south-east by the River Tamar. Several areas sit outside the town boundary, each linked to Saltash by travel connections: North, beyond the A38: Treledan, a housing area with a health centre; Carkeel, a housing area; Whole Farm, an employment area; and Pill, a housing area with a primary school. West: Trematon and Latchbrook, two housing areas with a primary school between them. South-west: Trehan, a housing area separated from the town by a green local gap. Its travel connection crosses the gap. South: St Stephens, a housing area.
