The Conservation Area Appraisal, Management Plan and Shop Front Design Gude for the THI
Dartford Borough Council is currently developing a Conservation Area Management Plan for Dartford town centre.
The town centre is a Conservation Area because its buildings and spaces, its churches, shops, houses, streets and parks, reflect the historic development of the town since Roman times, through the medieval to the modern period.
The appraisal and management plan:
- assesses what is special about the historic character of the Town Centre Conservation Area
- defines the boundaries of the Conservation Area
- identifies the issues that are facing the Town Centre
- sets out proposals and actions to ensure that the Council looks after this core area of historic interest.
