Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Sevenoaks delivered 523 of the 2,130 homes it was required to: 25%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
150 live sites covering 222 hectares, of which 98 have no planning permission yet. 14 give no housing estimate, so the capacity above is a floor, not a total.
A council short of land has to find more, and the 17 August 2026 planning framework widened what counts as grey belt. This page describes the council's position. It does not say whether any particular piece of land would get permission.
