Information about housing applications in Sampford Peverell & the Local Plan
The Greater Exeter Strategic Plan
The local authorities of East Devon, Exeter, Mid Devon, Teignbridge were working with Devon County Council to develop a plan for the whole area concerning homes, jobs, the environment etc., with a particular emphasis on finding places to build homes for those who work in Exeter. The GESP suggested building 2200 homes in Sampford Peverell. This was discussed by Mid Devon District Council on 26th August. Because East Devon had pulled out of the plan MDDC were advised that the GESP was no longer valid so they voted to work with neighbouring authorities to draw up a new plan, starting from scratch.

August 2020: The Higher Town / Placelands application
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. An inquiry was due to be held from 28 April to 1 May 2020, but was postponed due to coronavirus restrictions. The appeal was scheduled again for mid August, but was again postponed a few days before it was due to happen. We hear it may now be held in December 2020
For details of the application enter 17/01359/MOUT as the reference here:
