Scenario 2

Scenario 2: Greater Treledan

What if… Saltash remains the same with a newer, larger neighbour at Treledan?

Key Features

  • Saltash grows by 50% to 7,000 population with approx. 2,800 homes at a larger Treledan with expansion to its west towards Notter, at previously developed and waterfront sites within the town and beyond Latchbrook
  • Includes a new local centre, primary school and health centre at Treledan plus a major new active travel and high quality bus service link to the town and station

Key Effects

  • Improves access to school places and healthcare
  • Growth in one location (west) increases ability to deliver significant infrastructure improvements
  • Some growth beyond practical active travel distances to town centre and station so highly dependent on those improvements
  • Some new employment land off A38
  • Possible competition between local centre and Town Centre
  • Adverse landscape effects limited to west of town

What could it look like?

Diagram of Scenario 2 for Saltash. Saltash is a smaller outlined oval that sits entirely south of the A38. The A38 runs along its northern edge and crosses the River Tamar to the east. Treledan is a separate housing area to the north-west, beyond the A38 and outside the town boundary. It contains a local centre, a health centre and a primary school. A single wide travel connection crosses the A38 to link Treledan to Saltash. Inside the town, Latchbrook in the west is linked to the centre. The Town Centre and the Waterside are in the south-east by the river. Carkeel, Pill and St Stephens do not appear.
