Liverton

September 2019 This settlement profile has been prepared by National Park Authority to provide an overview of key information and issues for the settlement. It has been prepared in consultation with

SettlementParish/Town Profile: Councils Liverton and will be updated as necessary. 1 Introduction

Liverton lies on the eastern boundary of the National Park, some 3 miles south of and 1 mile from the busy A38 trunk road. The National Park boundary passes through the developed area at

Dartmoor National Park from the newer part, Coldeast, an area of the parish that has seen a

great deal of development in recent years. The older part within Dartmoor developed as a farming village but a pottery linked to a larger operation on the edge of Bovey Tracey provided useful employment.

Liverton within the National Park boundary has few facilities-village hall, play area and public house. Although the village has little in the way of shops and services, it is close to a large shopping centre on the nearby A38, and the Area Centre of Newton Abbot lies a little further away. Primary schools are

located at and Blackpool, both close by.

Issues Paper Consultation (Dec 2016) Infrastructure delivery

The following summarises issues identified by the Parish Council: We are aware of the following items of infrastructure which are needed and have a reasonable prospect of being funded in the next 20 years:  Community facilities should be protected from loss  Prioritise local need and affordable housing development  None known  Ensure there are affordable options for elderly population to down-size  Encourage self-build proposals and occupation of holiday homes during winter months  Encourage employment uses on settlement fringes and where transport access is sufficient  Concern impact of second home ownership on housing affordability and viability of services  Support policy limiting size of residential extensions, subject to discretion  Concern over frequency and accessibility of public transport  Allow sensitive development, including farming diversification and those supporting local employment  Support new farming generations
