Planning Advice

Find out whether your home improvement or large scale commercial project needs planning permission or building regulations approval. Use SDC's common projects and interactive guides to find out about permitted development limits or explore their in-depth guidance to understand about what you need to consider at each stage of your project:

Residents often ask whether planning permission is required to create a vehicular access to a residential property. A new self-service online tool has been produced by SDC and is now live on their website. Residents can use this tool to find out if their road is classified. They then use the information on our dropped kerb page to decide what they should do next e.g. if they should submit a planning application. The interactive map tool can also be found by clicking on road classification on the ‘Dropped kerbs’ page of our website:

https://www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/info/20007/parking_and_transport/467/dropped_kerbs.

This maps link (previously known as “constraints”) takes you to a mapping page, where (after you have ticked the box to agree to the terms of use) you can type in an address (or postcode) and tick boxes to overlay any or all of Green Belt; Conservation Area; TPOs etc (and you can zoom in/out).
