Proposed corner protections consultation
Published: 19 January 2026
We want to hear local residents’ views on the proposed installation or extension of double yellow lines on several roads in Sevenoaks.
Following feedback, we’ve identified 14 road corner locations where additional parking restrictions could improve visibility and safety for drivers and pedestrians.
Sevenoaks Town Council is proposing to submit these to Kent Highways for consideration and subsequent publication of a formal public consultation.
These would seek solely to reinforce the existing restrictions to parking which are in place via the Highway Code, which stipulates that cars must not park opposite or within 10 metres of a junction and should not park on a bend in the road except in authorised spaces.
The locations are on the following roads:
- Location 1: St John’s Road – the four corners leading into St James’ Road on either side
- Location 2: St John’s Road – the two corners leading into St George’s Road
- Location 3: St John’s Road – the two corners leading into Amherst Road
- Location 4: Bethel Road – the eastern corner leading into Cedar Terrace Road
- Location 5: Mill Lane – on the Western side of the road
- Location 6: The Crescent – extension to the existing lines leading into the Northern-most corner
- Location 7: Hillingdon Avenue – the grass verge leading into Seal Hollow Road
- Location 8: Hillingdon Avenue – the two corners leading into Wildernesse Mount
- Location 9: Hillingdon Avenue – around the green island between Wildernesse Mount and Seal Hollow Road
- Location 10: Hillingdon Avenue – the eastern corner leading into southern Seal Hollow Road
- Location 11: Ash Platt Road – the two corners on the southern end of Ash Platt Road, leading into Seal Road
- Location 12: Ash Platt Road – the two corners where it bends into Highlands Park
- Location 13: Letter Box Lane – extension to the existing lines leading into Letter Box Lane from Tonbridge Road
- Location 14: Bradbourne Road – extension of the existing lines opposite the rear entrance of Sevenoaks Primary School
