UK engineering firm Wates secures early design contract for Sevenoaks centre redevelopment

en.Wedoany.com Reported - A major development project is set to launch in the area east of Sevenoaks High Street, including a new leisure centre, cultural centre, market hall, improved public transport connections, new public green spaces, and energy-efficient homes. The construction phase is expected to create 263 jobs.

Wates will be responsible for developing early design proposals for the project and will seek public feedback in the coming months. Following a public consultation, the designs will be updated and refined before a planning application is submitted by the end of 2027. If planning permission is granted, construction could begin in 2028.

Cllr Michael Horwood, Sevenoaks Council’s Cabinet Member for Improvement and Innovation, said Wates has a strong track record in delivering major, high-quality construction projects and working closely with local communities. He expressed hope that residents and businesses will be at the heart of these proposals, adding that Wates will roll out a series of community engagement activities in the coming months, giving them a real opportunity to influence the final plans before the planning application is submitted.
