“The proposal seeks to develop a new housing community which offers a range of private residential accommodation consisting of detached and semi detached dwelling houses.”
A new housing development could be coming to Ayrshire – with more than 180 properties in the pipeline.
Ayrshire Live exclusively revealed in April last year that a parcel of land at Kilmarnock Road and Tarbolton Road, Dundonald, had been earmarked for the proposed development.
Now we can reveal that 187 homes have been pencilled in for the site, in what is being described as a ‘major development’ and part of an overall ‘masterplan.’
The agent in the proposal is Denham Youd, based in Ayr’s Wellington Square and the applicant is Drongan-based Hope Consultancy Ltd.
The agent previously submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) to build residential housing and “associated infrastructure.“
Now more information about the proposed development has emerged.
This fresh application relates to an overall masterplan for the site and comprises Area 2, 3 and 4 of a ‘new housing community.’
Area 1 is now completed and relates to the affordable housing portion of the site, 63 of which have already been developed by Connect Modular Ltd.
In a supporting statement the agents said: “The proposed development will include a mix of house types and styles alongside open space and landscaping, pedestrian paths and road access, SUDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) and other supporting infrastructure.
“The proposal seeks to develop a new housing community which offers a range of private residential accommodation consisting of detached and semi detached dwelling houses.”
Area 2 involves 49 homes from Briar Homes, These include eight proposed house types ranging from detached, semi detached, single and two storey homes.
Area 3 involves 60 homes from Hope Consultancy and is set to offer seven house types, which includes a range of storey heights as well as detached and semi-detached options.
And Area 4 has been earmarked for new 78 homes, by Campbell Homes. There are seven house types proposed on this site, with a range of detached, semi detached, single, double and one and a half storey homes.
The planning statement adds: “Planning Application (20/00119/MSCM) was approved in March 2021, this was for the erection of 63 dwellings, which were all affordable and related to the overall affordable housing provision associated with the wider masterplan site which had planning permission in principle in place.
“Given this, this planning application seeks to develop out the remaining 187 units which were allocated to the site within the adopted local development plan.”
The proposals can be viewed on South Ayrshire Council’s online planning portal and a decision on them is expected in due course.
