Leisure Facilities
Our vision is to provide a new, state of-the-art, leisure centre that meets energy efficiency standards and provides significantly improved facilities for the local community.
The early ideas include a new, modern, energy efficient leisure centre – including a swimming pool, gym, adventure zone, studios and a sports hall.
Market Hall
Our new market hall proposal for 96 High Street would breathe new life into the area, bringing activity and interest that would help generate return visits.
The proposed market hall space would:
-
1
Create a cultural hub for artists and cultural businesses in the heart of Sevenoaks. -
2
Create a new space for locally produced food, goods and products to be showcased and celebrated. -
3
Create a new day-to-evening destination for residents and those who visit the town.
Public Spaces
We have an opportunity to provide new public spaces within the town centre that better utilise the area.
These will be joined by a new green corridor between the high street and through to Knole Park.
Proposed locations
A
Improved pedestrian link from the High Street towards Knole Park and Lady Boswell’s Primary School.
B
Former Tesco site with planning permission.
C
New homes, with private parking provided.
D
New public space in front of the library with a safe crossing point.
E
Buses relocated to create a high quality pedestrian link from the High Street to the Library and Knole Park with potential for a day market.
F
Yard and access retained to service existing properties.
G
New leisure centre.
H
Refurbishment of 96 High Street with possible market hall.
I
Improved pedestrian links.
J
Improved public realm and safe crossing points on Buckhurst Lane linking the High Street with the Sevenoaks Town Car Park and routes into Knole Park.
K
Existing library retained with an improved approach from the town centre and improved car park access.
