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!
SP Caring Friends need more volunteer drivers
Volunteers are needed to drive people to and from doctors, dentists etc. One or two trips per month. Passengers pay 45p per mile. Very worthwhile and rewarding. For further details please contact Neil Macdonald on 01883 821096 
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 Planning applications for extra 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. This rejection means MDDC have asked for an Implications Report and will have to have a further discussion about it to confirm or reconsider the decision. This has been postponed several times and is now due to take place on 3rd July 2019. 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. For further info see: https://www.middevon.gov.uk/residents/planning-policy/local-plan-review-examination/ |
