The site

The proposal site is located at the former Robins & Day Vauxhall Garage, on the corner of Mill Road and London Road, Dunton Green, which has been vacant for some time. McCarthy Stone has subsequently acquired an interest in the site and believes it would be suitable to provide much-needed retirement accommodation.

The site is currently comprised of a large area of hardstanding and the former garage buildings. There are residential dwellings surrounding the site to the north, east and west, and the River Darent to the south.

McCarthy Stone’s proposals would see the removal of the existing buildings while utilising the whole site to bring forward much-needed specialist retirement accommodation. We believe the site offers an opportunity to redevelop the land with sensitively designed retirement accommodation exclusively for the over 60s.

Sustainable location

The proposal site is well located with a range of shops and services in Dunton Green along London Road to the north and south, including local pubs, salons and barbers as well as the large Tesco superstore.

There are also sustainable transport connections nearby, with local bus services travelling into Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, as well as the Dunton Green Railway Station within 0.5 miles of the site, travelling into Sevenoaks and London Charing Cross.

Our Proposals

The proposed development will be comprised of 37 high-quality Retirement Living apartments, exclusively for those aged 60 and over, alongside communal facilities including a shared lounge with kitchenette, beautifully landscaped gardens and on-site car parking.
