Do you have an interest in making sure there is suitable local affordable housing for yourself or others? You can now share your views in an independent survey that will shape the future.

Mid Devon District Council have funded this independent Housing Needs Survey that will gather evidence about the local need for affordable housing.

Please fill in the survey if you think you may need to move in the next five years and wish to live within the parishes of Sampford Peverall, Halberton, Burlescombe or Uplowman.

We would encourage residents to complete it, as it will inform future housing and help us better represent residents in relation to future planning and housing developments.

Letters will be distributed across the parish for those without internet access, but you can complete it online via the details below.

Complete the survey online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/middevonclusterHNS by Tuesday 19 May 2026.

Alternatively, you can use the paper form and business reply envelope sent to you in the post. A separate survey is needed for each individual or group of people forming a new household.

You can complete the survey anonymously. Information provided on the form will be seen only by DCT staff.  No data will be published in the report which can identify an individual. For the full Data Protection policy please see www.devoncommunities.org.uk/gdpr-policy.

If you know someone who wants to live in the parishes of Sampford Peverall, Halberton, Burlescombe or Uplowman but has had to move away due to lack of suitable housing, or someone working in one of these parishes who is not able to live there please pass on the link to enable them to complete the survey.

If you have a housing need and you want to be considered for affordable housing, you will also need to register at www.devonhomechoice.com. Even if you are already registered with Devon Home Choice, please complete and return this survey.

If you have any queries about the survey or need help with the form, please contact DCT on info@devoncommunities.org.uk or 01392 248919.
