Latest planning applications in Dartford include plans for nursery in Lowfield Street

Plans for a town centre nursery and a Traveller site are among the latest planning applications submitted to Dartford council.

Proposals have been submitted for a children’s nursery at the ground floor of a derelict building at 24 Lowfield Street in Dartford.

The application is seeking the proposed change of use of the ground floor from its previously approved use as two café or restaurant units to a children’s day nursery.

It would provide 30 early years places for children aged approximately six months to five years.

In Southfleet, a significant residential scheme has been proposed at Rooksdrift in Hook Green Road.

Developers want to convert and extend the existing house to create three self-contained homes, while also turning a detached garage into a fourth home. The plans include associated parking and landscaping works.

A partially retrospective application has also been submitted for a Traveller site on land off Darenth Wood Road, where there are already three existing pitches.
