The Dartford Plan to 2037
Local Plan policies are used for deciding planning applications, guiding infrastructure and investment, and supporting the local environment. Dartford's Local Plan was adopted in 2024.
It applies across the borough, including at Ebbsfleet and Dartford town centre. If considering policy M14 the Habitats Regulations and Residential Sites in Dartford Borough Guidance for Developers 2024 will help.
