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
Roofing in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide roofing across all of Sevenoaks?
Yes, we cover the TN13 postcode area in full, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Weald, Bat & Ball, Kippington.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?
Isolated slipped tiles or a single failed flashing are usually a repair; widespread wear, multiple leaks, or a covering at the end of its expected life point to replacement. We advise honestly on which applies after a survey rather than defaulting to the larger job.
How long does a flat roof last?
It depends on the system: traditional felt roofs typically last 10-20 years, while modern single-ply and GRP systems can last 20-30 years or more with proper installation and maintenance. We advise on the right system for your specific roof.
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.
