Last night we held the first stakeholder workshop in Sevenoaks as part of our work to prepare a masterplan for the town centre. The workshop was held in The Stag Theatre and was attended by representatives from the town council, District Council, Sevenoaks Society, National Trust, local bus company, Chamber of Commerce, as well as local businesses, landowners, resident groups and traders.
The workshop followed a Placecheck exercise to explore the town and was used to discuss and explore a new vision for the centre.
In parallel with preparation of the Sevenoaks town centre masterplan Urban Initiatives has also been commissioned to prepare a separate masterplan for the St. John’s Hill area of the town. Urban Movement are supporting us in the preparation of both plans.
The two masterplans will build on the higher-level vision for Sevenoaks town that is set out within the Sevenoaks Town Neighbourhood Plan which we prepared for the town council and that was adopted last year.
