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
Tiling in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide tiling 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 how much tile to order?
We measure the area and calculate quantity including an allowance for cuts and wastage, which varies by tile size and layout complexity — we confirm the figure once the design and layout are agreed.
Can you tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, if the existing tiling is sound, flat and well-bonded, but it's not always advisable — it adds height that can affect door clearances and fittings, and any hidden problem with the old tiling is masked rather than fixed. We assess this on survey.
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.
