Land East of Sevenoaks Highstreet Update

In 2024 we shared some early ideas for how we were proposing to revitalise and invest in some of the public areas on land east of Sevenoaks High Street. These included improvements to public spaces, a new leisure centre and a new library alongside other economic, environmental and cultural improvements to boost the town. Your feedback has helped us update our early ideas and we have made a number of changes to our early proposals. One notable change is that Kent County Council has now decided that the library will remain in its existing form in the town centre.

We want to update you on these changes to a once in a generation opportunity to improve the areas around Buckhurst Lane and Suffolk Way, close to Sevenoaks High Street.

Our updated early ideas include a new energy efficient leisure facility, a new cultural hub and market hall at 96 High Street, new public green spaces a new green corridor to Knole Park and new town centre energy efficient homes.
