A town could be getting a new dentists’ surgery.

Planning permission is being sought to extend a house in Headcorn Road, Staplehurst, to create a dental clinic to one side while preserving the building as a home.

The proposal, lodged by Wole Adeloye, of Beacondent in Bromley, would see a two-storey rear extension added to the property known as Chantilly, and a first-floor side extension.

The living quarters would then be moved to the left-hand side of the building, adjacent to Parisfield Close.

While the right-hand side would become a dental clinic incorporating three surgeries, one hygienist surgery and a children’s oral health advice centre.

It would also provide a reception/waiting area on the ground floor, disabled toilet and storage.

The full details can be viewed on the Maidstone council website here. Application number 23/500210.

The applicant promises to improve the boundary fencing to retain neighbours’ privacy.

Two extra parking spaces would be added in front of the property.
