Planning• Local Plan policies are the basis for decision making on

planning applications across the Borough of Dartford. The Core Strategy (2011) Document is at the heart; complemented by the Development Policies Local Plan 2017. The Core Strategy is a long-term plan to regenerate the Borough by outlining where, and how many, new homes, infrastructure and jobs will be created. Both documents have a time horizon to 2026.

• The Core Strategy sets out a capacity-based housing figure which meets housing need and provides impetus for regeneration of the Borough. This is Core Strategy Policy CS10, which equates to up to 17,300 dwellings in the 20 years to 2026.

• A pre-application enquiry was undertaken on the site in early September 2018 with Dartford Borough Council. Two schemes were considered, - one scheme of two detached 4 bed houses, and one scheme of three terraced 3 bed houses. Feedback received indicated that the two detached house scheme would not be viewed positively by the Council at the application stage, whilst a proposed scheme of 3 terraced houses could potentially be acceptable if all design, parking and other relevant criteria were met.

• We would also like to highlight that the Property is not Green Belt and has no designations. The Property is also adjacent to designated Borough Open Space.
