Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the street hub installation on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to the Dartford Conservation Area and the setting of a listed building
  • Highway safety with specific regard to the movement of cyclists and pedestrians

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably affect the setting of the grade II* listed building and harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the public benefits offered were insufficient to outweigh this less than substantial but upper-range harm.

Framework references: 212, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D2, Policy D6, Policy M1, Policy M2, Policy M5, Policy M6, Policy M15, Policy M16
