Welcome to the Sevenoaks Town Council website

Have your say on Sevenoaks Town Council's draft Town Centre Masterplan

Consultation on the draft Town Centre Masterplan will remain open until the end of September. We are asking the local community to give us their feedback via our survey.


Please review the following consultation documents carefully before responding to the Town Centre Masterplan feedback survey:
Information Boards
Draft Town Centre Masterplan 

Please give us your feedback here: survey

The Masterplans will build upon the work previously completed in the Sevenoaks Town Neighbourhood Plan, identifying key opportunities for future development – including design guidance, enhancements to cultural attractions, improvements to the pedestrian environment, any potential traffic mitigation measures and opportunities for greener infrastructure to enhance the biodiversity of the areas. The key purpose is to set out a clear vision - informed and endorsed by local people - for what future development should look like within the Town.

Complete our survey: should Town Council request transfer of local assets from District Council?

Sevenoaks District Council is making plans to merge into a new, larger Unitary Council. As part of this process, the expectation is that all of the District Council’s currently-owned assets would be transferred to this new Unitary.

In a bid to protect key local assets, Sevenoaks District Council has initiated a protocol for considering asset-transfer applications from its Town and Parish Councils. Sevenoaks Town Council is seeking local views on which, if any, District Council-owned assets local residents believe would benefit from being transferred to more local, centralised ownership.

Please give us your feedback here: survey

For more information, visit our consultation page, which includes a more thorough explanation of this ongoing process, as well as access to a short PowerPoint presentation on the topic.

Sevenoaks Town Council urges District Council to hand over Freehold of Stag

Sevenoaks Town Council urges District Council to hand over Freehold of Stag

Published: 2 Sep 25

In the Sevenoaks District Council (SDC) agenda papers for its Finance & Investment Advisory Committee, it proposes a 100-year lease for the Stag on a peppercorn rent to Sevenoaks Town Council. However, Sevenoaks Town Council has several concerns with taking on a 100-year lease rather than the Freehold of the Stag. The lease proposal provides all the financial disadvantages to the Town Council, and ultimately the Stag charity, without the benefit of being in control of its destiny. Sevenoaks Town Council hopes the District Council will reconsider and hand over the Freehold of the Stag whilst it still can, ensuring the community retains this cultural facility, enabling continued investment for future generations, and avoiding any opportunity for it to be considered for development.
