Sampford Peverell is a pretty village near Tiverton in Devon and is home to about 1300 people. The village has great facilities including two pubs, a shop-cum-Post Office, a farm shop, a doctor's surgery, a village hall, a primary school, a sports field, tennis courts, a Multi Use Games Area, and a fun Play Park. The Grand Western canal runs through the middle of the village, providing scenic views and easy walking and cycling routes.

Sampford Peverell WW1 film on YouTube!
A film of our WW1 remembrance activities can now be seen on YouTube. It includes lovely pictures of the village and is well worth watching. Click here to see it: https://youtu.be/Gio0Yb0E_1g 
We now have 2 defibrillators in the village: on the outside wall of the Village Hall, Lower Town and in the Sports Pavilion, Whitnage Road.
If you are with someone having a heart attack you must phone 999. They may suggest that someone gets a defibrillator and will give you the code. The instructions in it are self-explanatory. |
Compost site now open again
The garden waste compost site in the road to the station is open on Saturday mornings from 10.00 to 12.00

An application from Placelands to build 60 houses between Higher Town and Turnpike was rejected by MDDC's planning committee on 11th July 2018 on the grounds of visual impact, highway safety, and sustainability. This rejection meant that MDDC had to ask for an Implications Report. This report was considered at a planning meeting on 31st July, and the planning committee again rejected the application, on the same grounds as before. We wait to hear if the applicants will appeal. For details of the plan enter 17/01359/MOUT as the reference here: https://planning.middevon.gov.uk/online-applications/ The Local Plan, J27, and housing in Sampford Peverell
Further meetings following on from the Inspector's report were held in February 2019. The Inspector's conclusions were passed to MDDC in May. More meetings have been held to discuss his suggested modifications. 30 Sep - MDDC are preparing draft Main Modifications.
