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
New Builds in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide new builds 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 structural warranty for a new-build home?
Most mortgage lenders require a recognised new-build warranty (such as NHBC or an equivalent provider) for a period of typically ten years. We factor warranty provider inspections into the build programme.
Can you build from our architect's drawings?
Yes. We regularly build from independently prepared, planning-approved drawings, working with your architect and structural engineer through construction.
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.
