It could be a case of third time lucky for Dartford as new proposals for the regeneration of Lowfield Street are unveiled today.
Plans have gone on display after more than a year of negotiations between Dartford Borough Council and Tesco's development arm.
Council leader Cllr Jeremy Kite believes the renewed plans will be granted with approval from residents
He said: "I think people will like these plans a lot. We've secured a number of victories with the developers and finally have something which is right for Dartford."
Changes include scaled-down housing proposals from 937 units to just 176.
An agreement also preserves the future of the threatened Glentworth Ex-Services Club with a new clubhouse earmarked for land next to the Dartford Harriers running track.
Residents are now being asked to give their views on the latest proposals.
If feedback is positive a planning application could be in front of council members next spring.
