Have your say now! The deadline for comments is midnight on Thursday 11th January 2024. Comment on Sevenoaks District Council’s draft Local Plan, which includes proposals to meet the District’s future housing and development needs, some of it on local Green Belt sites. www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/plan2040.
Sevenoaks District Council is working on ‘Plan 2040’, a new Local Plan, which sets out what can be built and where over the next 15 years.
Plan 2040 will help to deliver much needed new homes, including affordable homes, while promoting residents’ health and wellbeing and protecting the environment, including the overwhelming majority of the Green Belt.
While Plan 2040 proposes to make the best use of land within existing built up areas, the Council faces a big challenge as the Government has told the Council the District needs 10,680 new homes from 2025 to 2040.
As the Sevenoaks District is 93% Green Belt, the third highest proportion in England, the Council has to consider a limited number of Green Belt sites to meet the District’s future housing and development needs.
The sites under consideration are in the most suitable locations, close to existing settlements, transport and services. Some are on poorly performing Green Belt, such as land that may already have been built on.
Local people can comment on Plan 2040 from Thursday 23 November 2023 until midnight on Thursday 11 January 2024 at www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/plan2040. The site includes information, Plan 2040 Summary leaflet and consultation video. You can also view Plan 2040 at local libraries, town or parish council offices and Sevenoaks District Council’s offices.
The next Hever Parish Council Planning Meeting will take place on Monday 4th December at 7 pm in Hever Village Hall to which you are welcome to attend. The agenda can be found here: http://hever.org/parish-council/agendas
The next full Hever Parish Council meeting will be held on Thursday 11th January 2024.
The doors to the new Edenbridge Memorial Health Centre are now open. The new health centre will provide quality care to the people closer to home. Having services working together under one roof, including a new GP surgery, children’s services, diagnostic services, a wellbeing centre and a wide range of outpatient clinics, will also reduce the need for people to travel to Tunbridge Wells or Maidstone hospitals for some care.
Please note there will no longer be NHS services from the former Edenbridge Medical Practice building or Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital. All GP appointments, the walk-in minor injury service and outpatient care previously provided at the hospital, will now be located at the new centre.

Sevenoaks District Council is also running ‘Pop-up’ sessions at the following locations where the public can find out more and comment on Plan 2040:
There is a meeting tomorrow, Saturday 7th October, to hear about the services that will be on offer at the new Edenbridge Memorial Health Centre. To attend you need to book a place via the QR code or the number on the advert, or visit their website for more information on the new Centre.
Would you be interested in a Community Transport Service for local villages that are without a bus service? District Councillor James Barnett is looking to start a community transport service and would love to hear from anyone who would like to get involved. Could you perhaps volunteer some time to drive a Transit sized vehicle, or volunteer some organisational skills to help run the service, or maybe you run a business who might like to sponsor the service?
In the first instance, please contact Councillor Barnett via email: cllr.barnett@sevenoaks.gov.uk
