TP Bennett chosen as architect and masterplanner for Westgate area project
Muse Developments has been appointed by Dartford Borough Council to lead the 拢75m regeneration of the town鈥檚 Westgate area. TP Bennett is the architect and masterplanner on the scheme.
The mixed-use development will see the creation of 140 new homes (39 being affordable), which will encompass one, two and three-bedroom apartments spread across four new buildings.
A 109-bed hotel on the former Co-op store site will be constructed, with four upper floors containing rooms in a mix of sizes, with larger units behind the building鈥檚 fa莽ade.
The proposed scheme will also comprise 37,250ft2 for restaurant and bar space, nearly3,500m2 of retail floor space, a multi-storey car park with 167 spaces and a public square.
Discussions are also underway with the local Clinical Commissioning Group to partner on the potential creation of a new health facility providing space for GPs, family healthcare, social care providers and mental health services.
Muse is looking to submit a planning application next summer and to start on site by spring 2019. Dartford Borough Council and the developer will be holding public consultation events early next year.
