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
Ponds & Water Features in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide ponds & water features across all of Sevenoaks?
Yes, we cover the TN13 postcode area in full, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Weald, Bat & Ball, Kippington.
How much maintenance does a pond need?
A wildlife pond with balanced planting needs relatively little upkeep beyond seasonal tidying, while a formal pumped feature needs regular filter cleaning and occasional water treatment — we can advise on the right level of upkeep for the type of feature you choose.
Can you renovate an existing, overgrown or leaking pond?
Yes. Renovation work typically involves draining the pond, assessing and replacing the liner where needed, and re-establishing planting, and is priced individually depending on the pond's size and condition.
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.
