Public comments are still being welcomed surrounding plans to add additional layers to a car-park in Sevenoaks.

The District Council are asking members of the community to give their thoughts on the proposal in an online survey.

The proposed two-storey deck on the existing Buckhurst 2 car-park will provide an addition 300 long-stay car parking spaces.

Sevenoaks Council say it would be clad in materials designed to be sympathetic to its surroundings.

The proposal will be subject to the Council gaining planning permission.

It will submit a planning application once consultations have finished and all public comments have been considered.

The project will cost approximately £4 million and will be funded by a low-interest loan from the Government.

The Council has said parking fees will pay off the loan over an estimated 20-year period.

Recent exhibitions outlining the plans to enhance long stay car-parking attracted more than 250 people in the space of three days.

The exhibitions allowed residents, visitors and local businesses to look at the plans through artists' impressions and ask any questions they had in mind.

The extra spaces that would be created by the proposal would help the 100 residents and businesses who are currently on a waiting list for long-stay permits.

Cllr Peter Fleming, Leader of the Council, says: “The three day exhibition attracted lots of interest and we are very grateful to all those who came along and gave their opinions."

“I am hearing all too often that staff working for businesses in the town drive around trying to find a space." - Cllr Peter Fleming

A spokesperson for Sevenoaks Council said: "So far we have been really pleased with the level of response to this proposal.

"If residents and businesses haven't had their say yet then please go online and fill out our survey. We are still really keen for people to tell us what they think."

Plans will be on display until Thursday June 26 at Sevenoaks Leisure Centre, Buckhurst Lane.

The deadline for commenting on the proposed car park will be 5pm on Thursday June 26.
