Dartford Borough Council wants to encourage its tenants and leaseholders to run their own businesses from home; however tenants and leaseholders must seek permission from the Council first, by completing an application form.
Conditions to Home Working:
The Council will not allow someone to run a business from home if, for example:
- It is likely to cause nuisance to neighbours
- It is an illegal, improper or immoral activity
- It would require major adaptation of the property, or would damage the property in some way
- It is operating without a relevant permit, registration or licence as required by law
The Council's Running a Business from Home Policy for Council Tenants and Leaseholders gives more details or you can contact a Housing Officer on 01322 343133.
