PLANS to expand Bluewater by a fifth are to be discussed tonight. (May 16)

The shopping centre’s owners want to demolish part of the West Village and build 30,500 sqm of extra floor space.

Under the bold proposals, the lake will be altered but the number of parking spaces and access site will remain the same.

Dartford Council’s development control board is to rule on whether to recommend the outline planning application for approval.

The public meeting at the Civic Centre starts at 7pm.
