PRESS RELEASE: Sevenoaks Town Council readopts its planning applications policy
Published: 22 April 2025
Sevenoaks Town Council’s Planning & Environment Committee has re-adopted its “
Planning Application Recommendations Policy” which outlines the Committee’s role within the wider planning system, as well as how this is achieved on an operational level. The purpose of this document is to make clear and transparent the process through which a planning application goes after it has been referred to Sevenoaks Town Council for its recommendation – including key considerations which may be taken into account, and how public can get involved with the process.
Recommendations on individual planning applications are considered and agreed by the Town Council’s Planning & Environment Committee, for subsequent consideration of the Local Planning Authority and final decision-maker (Sevenoaks District Council). The Committee meets every two weeks and provides a locally informed recommendation on key planning application types – consisting primarily of Full, Householder, Advertising, Listed Building Consent, Minor Material Amendments and Variations of Condition planning applications.
