LO 2 Development in Sevenoaks Urban Area
In Sevenoaks provision will be made for approximately 1,330 dwellings (2006-2026) on a range of sites suitable for residential use within the urban area.
Existing suitable employment sites will be retained with the opportunity for regeneration and redevelopment to better meet the needs of business.
In bringing forward sites for development the emphasis in this area will be on:
- the town centre as shown on Figure 4
- housing development at locations throughout the town suitable for housing development and with particular emphasis on locations within the town centre, or within easy walking distance of the town centre or main line railway stations.
- employment development in existing employment areas; and
- protection of the setting of the urban area and the distinctive character of the local environment and also respecting the physical and community identity of the adjoining settlements, and prevention of further coalescence.
