Planning committee

Decided by Sevenoaks Development Management Committee on 9 Jul 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the works would not harm the area’s character, neighbours’ amenity, trees, highways or parking.
  • Residents and the parish council raised concerns about overdevelopment, overlooking, loss of light, the front garage, trees and drainage.
  • The committee agreed the amended recommendation and granted permission, noting the limited rear extension, retained width, screening hedge and similar dormers.
