Sevenoaks District Council would like to hear your views on the emerging Local Plan for Sevenoaks District, which includes proposals to meet the District’s future housing and development needs.
The consultation period runs until 11.59pm on Thursday 11 December 2025. Full details of the consultation, including a link to the online survey are available on the District Council website at www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/emerginglocalplan
You can learn more about the emerging Local Plan at ‘pop-up’ sessions across the District. At these sessions, residents can speak directly with officers from the Strategic Planning Team. You are encouraged to sign up for a session in advance as there will be limited walk-in availability on the day. The first Sevenoaks ‘pop-up’ sessions took place on Wednesday 29th October 2025, with the next ones scheduled for:
- Monday 8 December 2025 (1-hour sessions at 4, 5.30 and 7pm) at Sevenoaks District Council offices, Argyle Road, TN13 1HG
If you have any questions, you can contact the District Council's Strategic Planning Team at planning.policy@sevenoaks.gov.uk
Sevenoaks Town Council will soon be preparing a draft response to this consultation. Town Councillors will discuss draft comments at the Planning & Environment Committee meetings at 7pm on 3rd November, 17th November and 1st December. Residents are welcome to register to speak or ask planning-related questions of the Councillors, with prior notice. For more details about these meetings, visit this webpage.
The following briefing documents have been prepared by Sevenoaks Town Council in order to facilitate Councillors' discussions. These have been prepared with a sole focus on Sevenoaks Town, and therefore do not provide further detail on proposals outside of the Town Council boundary.
They should be read in conjunction with, and not instead of, the District Council's draft Local Plan - particularly for those interested in matters affecting the wider District (i.e. Otford, Edenbridge, Swanley), but not Sevenoaks Town.
