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. There are great transport links: we are near the M5, and have Tiverton Parkway station within walking distance. For more information see the About us page.
News!
We 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. The Local Plan, J27, and housing in Sampford Peverell

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. The applicants have lodged an appeal. For details of the application enter 17/01359/MOUT as the reference here: https://planning.middevon.gov.uk/online-applications/ |
