Introducing: The Dartford Borough Council Community Infrastructure Fund
New funding for local projects, paid for by Dartford Borough Council's CIL contributions from developers, is being launched working with the Kent Community Foundation. Grants of up to £10,000 are available for community and voluntary groups in the parts of Dartford without a town/parish council.
Charging to amend a planning application
From November 3 this year, we're intending to introduce a charge for amending a planning application or an application for advertisement consent.
The basis for deciding planning applications: The Dartford Plan
Dartford has a Local Plan that is up-to-date (adopted April 2024) and sets a clear development strategy and planning policies for the whole Borough.
Reporting on the Borough’s development
The Authority Monitoring Report 2023/24 sets out wide-ranging information on planning policy impact, and the development of the Borough's environment, economy and society.
