SDC Local Plan 2042
You can have a final say on Sevenoaks District Council's Local Plan from 23 July to 17 September 2026 as part of the ‘Regulation 19 Publication’.
The new Local Plan will guide what can be built and where between 2027 and 2042. It includes sites put forward by landowners and developers to meet the Government’s new housing target of 17,460 houses that must be built over the lifetime of the Plan.
As part of the ‘Regulation 19 Publication’, you cannot suggest new development options. Instead, your comments must focus on whether the new Local Plan is compliant with the relevant national planning legislation and if it is ‘sound’, in other words based on evidence, meets future need, is deliverable and promotes sustainable development.
