Updates on the progress of the new village hall will be posted here periodically.

Update 9 November 2025:

The Hever Village Hall Management Committee, following the helpful feedback from the community meeting on October 4th, has decided not to continue to explore the option of moving the hall across the road from the current site (“option 2”).  At its meeting on October 28th, the Committee agreed to concentrate on the remaining option, the construction of a new hall at the back of the current site (“option 1”).

The committee has in the past carefully considered whether the current hall could be restored and concluded that this was not feasible (please see the Design, Access & Heritage Statement contained in the November 2021 Planning Application for more detail).  It discussed a proposal made at the meeting that the current hall could and should be restored, but again concluded that this was not feasible. It is open to looking at this proposal again if a detailed and costed plan is provided.

The Committee would like to thank all attendees for their participation in the October 4th open meeting and also those unable to attend but gave us feedback on their views. Minutes from the October 28th meeting are currently being finalised and will be uploaded to the Hever.org website along with the Design, Access & Heritage Statement once approved by the Committee.
