A former chiropractors and natural health clinic could reopen as a children’s pre-school.

The Headcorn Natural Health Centre closed in May when its owners retired.

Audra Uikiene is keen to reopen the building at 1&2 Franks Bridge Cottages, Smarden Road, in Headcorn, as a pre-school.

She has applied to add a second storey to a single-storey extension which has already been granted planning permission.

Once built the extension would enable the building – now one property created from two former cottages – to be subdivided into six classrooms, a kitchen office and toilets.

There is parking for six cars.

The extension would be timber-framed with fire retardant cladding, with a flat roof.

The property is within a Zone 3 flood risk area, meaning there is a high risk of flooding.

Details of the application can be viewed here.

The application is yet to be determined by Maidstone council and the applicant has also yet to seek change of use permission to a nursery/pre-school.
