Dartford Council Receives Planning Applications for Nursery and Housing

Dartford Council has recently received several planning applications, including a proposal for a new day nursery and plans for the demolition of a residential property. These applications reflect ongoing development initiatives in the Dartford area.

Among the notable submissions is a proposal to convert a six-bedroom house on Highfield Road into a day nursery. This facility aims to accommodate up to 45 children and provide space for 15 staff. The scheme intends to utilize the garden as an outdoor play area, while also including staff facilities and a one-bedroom flat on the top floor for residential accommodation for workers. If approved, this site would transition from its current designation as a house in multiple occupation (HMO) to a dedicated childcare facility.

In Darenth, an application has been submitted for the demolition of a house known as The Hermitage on Green Street Green Road. The proposal includes plans for a new residential dwelling to be constructed in its place.
