A huge new project in Cornwall which has the possibility of seeing 4,000 houses built is set to be one of the biggest developments the county will see in the next 20 years.
Cornwall Council's Langarth Garden Village masterplan hopes to create a "cohesive" development which will link different sites together and create a community which will have common elements across it.
The council is in the process of drawing up the plan for the entire site which will bring together a patchwork quilt of different areas which have planning permission for a number of different developments.
Over the last decade some 14 planning permissions have been granted across the area covered by the Garden Village including the Stadium for Cornwall and 2,700 homes.
The council performed an "intervention" on the project after the various developments stalled for a variety of reasons.
And the council is aiming to ensure that vital infrastructure - such as schools, health facilities and roads - will be put in place before people start to live in the Garden Village.
This changes the traditional approach which can see developers building homes and then only providing facilities, or funding for facilities, after they are complete.
The various sites which will be included in the garden village lie to the north of the A390 stretching from West Langarth to the west of Threemilestone and going east to the border of the site at Treliske.

The various planning permissions do allow for 2,700 homes which have formed part of the council's figures for housing to be delivered in the Truro area under the Cornwall Local Plan.
But the council says that eventually the area could have 4,000 homes so has used that figure in deciding what infrastructure will be needed for that level of homes.
