October 31, 2024 /

The Hever Parish Council Extraordinary Planning Meeting where the Appeal against the Enforcement Notice served on Land West of Hever Road was discussed last night was well attended by members of the community.

We would encourage everyone to submit their views to the Planning Inspectorate by the deadline of 11th November 2024. The more voices are heard the better.

Details of the Appeal can be found on the Sevenoaks District Council Website:  https://pa.sevenoaks.gov.uk/online-applications/simpleSearchResults.do?action=firstPage
