Mid Devon Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment 2024

A new Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment has been completed for the Mid Devon district by consultants Opinion Research Services.

This assessment replaces a previous assessment that was completed in 2015. It identifies the numbers of new pitches for Gypsies and Travellers and new plots for Travelling Showpeople that are needed to provide homes for the travelling community in Mid Devon for the period to 2045.

The assessment provides technical evidence that will be used to inform the preparation of Plan Mid Devon (a new local plan for the district) and it will be capable of being used to guide planning applications submitted to the Council for determination and inform the decisions made on these.
