AP1 Wrotham Road, Gravesend
In the area shown on the Proposals Map, the conversion of existing dwellings to commercial uses will not normally be permitted. Proposals which maintain the broad mix of housing and commercial uses serving the surrounding residential areas or provide community facilities will generally be acceptable, provided that they respect the scale of existing development and do not adversely affect the amenity of residential properties, traffic safety and the free flow of vehicles in Wrotham Road. An opportunity for re-use of the Wrotham Road School site may arise but will be restricted to a low traffic-generating use which reflects the adjoining conservation area, such as community facilities or sheltered housing.
