Property styles in Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks has a significant stock of larger detached and semi-detached Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses on generous plots, which frequently suit substantial rear or double-storey extensions and outbuilding conversions.
Planning considerations
Sevenoaks District Council is the local planning authority. A large proportion of the district is designated Green Belt, and parts fall within the Kent Downs National Landscape, both of which place additional constraints on new structures and extensions beyond normal permitted development limits.

FAQs
Decking in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide decking across all of Sevenoaks?
Yes, we cover the TN13 postcode area in full, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Weald, Bat & Ball, Kippington.
Do I need a balustrade on my deck?
Decking raised more than around 300mm above ground level typically needs a balustrade or handrail for safety. We confirm the requirement based on your specific deck height and design.
Does Green Belt designation affect extending a house in Sevenoaks?
Green Belt policy applies primarily to new buildings and significant additions that would be disproportionate to the original dwelling, rather than ruling out modest extensions. We assess this against your specific property and its planning history.
