6. Supplementary Guidance EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE: 11 JUNE 2020 Report by the Depute Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer Economy and Skills SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDANCE - PLACE PLANS FOR NEW CUMNOCK AND DALRYMPLE, HOLLYBUSH AND SKELDON PURPOSE OF REPORT 1. To request that the Executive Committee approve the proposed statutory supplementary guidance for New Cumnock and Dalrymple, Hollybush and Skeldon and to seek authorisation to proceed with arrangements to adopt the guidance. RECOMMENDATIONS 2. It is recommended that Executive Management Committee agrees: (i) To approve the statutory supplementary guidance for New Cumnock and Dalrymple, Hollybush and Skeldon as part of the East Ayrshire Local Development Plan (EALDP); (ii) To adopt the submitted supplementary guidance unless Scottish Ministers direct otherwise; (iii) To note the significant contribution of the Place Plans for New Cumnock and Dalrymple, Hollybush and Skeldon to the enactment of the Council’s Strategic Priority relating to Community Led Regeneration: empower communities and build community resilience; and (iv) To otherwise note the contents of this report. BACKGROUND 3. The EALDP was formally adopted on the 3rd April 2017. The EALDP focuses on a vision, spatial strategy and key policies, while more detailed matters are contained in supplementary guidance. Supplementary guidance and non-statutory planning guidance can be prepared alongside a Local Development Plan or can be prepared and published subsequently. The Plan as approved indicates that the Council proposes to publish supplementary guidance and non-statutory guidance within the lifetime of the EALDP. All supplementary guidance has now been adopted or is in the process of being adopted with the exception of the placemaking maps. 4. The LDP introduced a section on placemaking and when published incorporated five placemaking maps for Kilmarnock, Cumnock, Galston, Stewarton and Dalmellington with a view to preparing placemaking maps for all of East Ayrshire’s communities which would become supplementary guidance in due course. A proposed timetable for the preparation of the placemaking maps forms part of the Action Programme which was originally approved by Cabinet on 28th June 2017. 5. It should be noted that whilst this programme represents the desired order, the actual order is dependent on the community being willing and able to get involved at the appropriate time. Placemaking follows on from the development of Community Led Action Plans which, in turn, can only progress if a request is received from the community to develop one. Therefore, it is expected that some deviation from the agreed Action Programme will occur. The Action Programme was updated as part of the Development Plan Scheme that was approved by Cabinet on the 11 March 2020. The terminology used to describe placemaking maps and action programmes has changed to reflect that within the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019. They are now referred to collectively as Place Plans. 6. Place Plans are a realistic assessment of which land use based projects can make most impact in achieving the Scottish Government’s six qualities of successful places that is; distinctive, safe and pleasant, easy to move around, welcoming, adaptable and sustainable. Place Plans will help guide future development and assist the Council and local communities in future funding bids and in targeting resources. The programme for producing Place Plans has been closely associated with the production / updating of the Community Led Action Plans where these exist. PLACE PLAN PROCESS 7. The procedure flowchart for developing a Place Plans can be viewed on the Members Portal within the Place Plan handout. All activities in the development of Place Plans follow the same basic steps; Identification of Community Priorities for improvement Verification and logging of features and actions Mapping and validation of features and actions Informal consultation with affected properties 8. Place Plan maps and actions are derived from community priorities identified through local development activities such as a Community Led Action Plans (CLAP’s). CLAP’s are developed by a community steering group following a request for support in forming a CLAP being made to Vibrant Communities. The Communities Team then facilitate an extensive community engagement process and provide support via a community worker to bring together all the information required to publish the Community Led Action Plan. 9. The Place Plan process typically involves four engagement meetings starting with an appraisal transect or “walkabout” with a small number of community representative’s to identify the location of the main priorities. This is followed by a “Talking Pictures” exercise with a wider group of community representative’s. This activity involves listening to and recording of the group’s comments when viewing over a large number of photographs highlighting the main priorities identified. Feedback relating to the comments recorded is sought from internal Council stakeholders, East Ayrshire Leisure Trust and Ayrshire Roads Alliance. This collective feedback is used to inform the mapping and validation desktop exercise. Draft maps and actions are then produced and, at subsequent meetings, adjusted by members of the group until an agreed plan was established to go out for informal consultation across the community. PLACE PLAN – NEW CUMNOCK 10. The New Cumnock Place Plan focuses on key buildings and development sites in the town which are notable eyesores. The New Cumnock Development Trust has already acquired the former Castle Hotel, and is developing plans for this. There is also an ambition to develop a sustainable energy project for the town and develop tourism based on the extensive assets in terms of walking routes in the surrounding area, the River Nith and the town’s role as a gateway to Ayrshire from the South. Housing provision is also an issue which the community seeks to address through the opportunities that exist in Greenhill area of the town where excess provision of social housing was extensively demolished. It is hoped by the community that new private, social and self-build housing can be encouraged there. PLACE PLAN – DALRYMPLE, HOLLYBUSH AND SKELDON 11. Whilst the consultation area for the Community Action Plan that informs this report includes the settlement of Skeldon, there are no proposals identified for Skeldon itself. For Dalrymple and Hollybush there is significant focus on green spaces including the further development of the community garden in Dalrymple. There is also a focus on the development of walking and cycling routes and better connecting local communities. Key buildings identified in Dalrymple are the church and the Kirkton Inn. The pavilion at the sports field is also viewed as an opportunity and is being considered currently for asset transfer. In Hollybush, the creation of a footway between the Hollybush Estate entrance and the information point and car park for the Hollybush Estate walk is identified as a priority. The walk is a circular route around the estate and along the banks of the River Doon. In both communities speeding was highlighted as an issue both on the B742 into Dalrymple and the A713 through Hollybush. CONSULTATION UPDATE - NEW CUMNOCK AND DALRYMPLE, HOLLYBUSH AND SKELDON 12. Following Cabinet approval of the New Cumnock and Dalrymple, Hollybush and Skeldon plans on the 22nd January 2020 for consultation purposes, the Supplementary Guidance was published for a six week consultation period. The guidance was made available on the Council’s website, hard copies were deposited at Council offices and the consultation was advertised in the local press. In summary the Supplementary Guidance promotes cycling and walking route improvements; streetscape, green space and civic space improvements; blue/green network opportunities; priority buildings requiring regeneration; development sites and housing improvement opportunities; in the settlements as summarised in paragraphs 10-11 above. 13. There were two comments from one member of the public in relation to Hollybush received supporting the inclusion of a new footway between the Hollybush Inn and the village and calling for an upgrade of the footpaths, drainage and interpretation of walkways around the River Doon. It is hope that the paths along the Doon Valley will be included to some extent in the Coalfield Communities Landscape Partnership (CCLP). This could include links to Hollybush, Skeldon and Dalrymple. Following the initial feasibility study which was carried out as part of the development of the CCLP and subject to a positive response to the external funding applications, East Ayrshire Leisure will be carrying out detailed survey work of the paths in the area to inform the implementation of the CCLP access network. This will include community and landowner consultations. Other comments relate to speeding and traffic calming measures around Hollybush to reduce the speed of traffic between Hollybush and Dalrymple have received positive comments from ARA and investigations are being progressed. ARA have also indicated that a formal footpath between the Hollybush Inn and the village could not be justified. This does not mean that a community project could not be considered as a means of accessing funds, improving access and testing future demand. 14. No correspondence was received with regards to New Cumnock, and Dalrymple. The detail of all the queries received and responses can be seen in

    EAST AYRSHIRE the community plan planning together working together achieving together Contents Introduction 3 Our Vision 3 Our Guiding Principles 4 The Challenges 8 Our Main Themes 13 Promoting Community Learning 14 Improving Opportunities 16 Improving Community Safety 18 Improving Health 20 Eliminating Poverty 22 Improving the Environment 24 Making the Vision a Reality 26 Our Plans for the next 12 years 28 Our Aspirations 28 2 Introduction Community planning is about a range of partners in the public and voluntary sectors working together to better plan, resource and deliver quality services that meet the needs of people who live and work in East Ayrshire. Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL GOVERNANCE AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE: 24 SEPTEMBER 2010 DERELICT BUILDINGS REPORT Report by Depute Chief Executive / Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 Further to the Governance and Scrutiny Committee of 19 March 2010, the purpose of this report is to present to Committee a report that identifies and provides relevant information on those derelict buildings within East Ayrshire which are known to the Council and which present cause for concern. 1.2 Details have been included of cases that officers have been involved with over the last 5 years as well as those that remain of concern. Details are also included within appendix 2 of those properties within the Buildings at Risk Register, (BARR). 2. DERELICT BUILDINGS 2.1 Those properties detailed within appendix 1 to this report include specifically buildings that are in a derelict condition, and not buildings which are merely untidy in their appearance or land which is similarly untidy. For the purposes of this exercise, “derelict” has been taken to comprise properties where there is a significant deterioration in the physical fabric of the building; for example by way of damage to doors, windows, elevations or roof such as to allow ingress by the weather or to encourage vandalism. 2.2 The properties referred to in this report do not necessarily represent the entirety of derelict buildings within the district. They are those properties in respect of which the Planning and Economic Development Service has received complaints or which are subject of enforcement investigation. The buildings lie within the following settlements: Catrine, Cumnock, Dalmellington, Darvel, Galston, Hurlford, Kilmarnock, Kilmaurs, Mauchline, Muirkirk, New Cumnock, Newmilns, Patna, Rankinston and Waterside (Patna).

  • Newmilns & Greenholm Community Action Plan 2021-2026 Profile
    Newmilns & Greenholm Community Action Plan 2021-2026 Profile 1. Brief Description and History 1.1 Early History Evidence of early habitation can be found across The Valley, with the earliest sites dating from around 2000 BC. To the east of Loudoun Gowf Course, evidence has been found of the existence of a Neolithic stone circle and a Neolithic burial mound lies underneath the approach to the seventh green. A site in Henryton uncovered a Neolith barrow containing stone axes (c. 1500 BC) and a Bronze Age cairn dating from about 1000 BC (the cairn itself contains cists which are thought to have been made by bronze weapons or tools). Following this early period, from around AD 200 evidence exists of not only a Roman camp at Loudoun Hill, but also a Roman road running through The Valley to the coast at Ayr. The camp was uncovered through quarry work taking place south of Loudoun Hill but tragically much of this evidence has been lost. According to local workmen, many of the uncovered remains & artefacts were taken with the rest of the quarried materials to be used in road construction projects. Typically, little is known of The Valley's history during the Dark Ages, but it seems likely that an important battle was fought around AD 575 at the Glen Water. In addition, given the strong strategic importance of Newmilns' position as a suitable fording place and a bottleneck on one of Scotland's main east-west trade routes, it is not unlikely that other battles and skirmishes occurred during this period.

  • Cumnock 2020 Update
    A N N U A L U P D A T E 2 0 2 0 CUMNOCK W H A T ' S B E E N H A P P E N I N G - W H A T W E ' V E L E A R N E D SNAPSHOT The Cumnock Action Plan (CAP) continue to deliver the aims of the 5-year community plan, building upon the ambitious outdoor projects that include: The Memory Garden, Tower Street Project and Woodroad Park. As part of the regeneration of Woodroad Park, a project to upgrade existing paths was completed earlier in the year. More accessible routes, coupled with new signage, has encouraged local people to further utilise this beautiful space. This work was delivered in conjunction with Central Scotland Green Network Trust and East Ayrshire Woodlands (EAW) and was funded by Scottish Forestry. The Gardening Group have been incredibly proactive, planting 1,200 saplings in the park, and a further 1,300 crocuses and 10,000 daffodils around the town. This was funded through CAP, EAW and Morrison’s Construction, the company behind the construction of the new Barony Campus. At this time, we would like to pay tribute to Bobby Grierson who died suddenly in April 2020. Bobby was a driving force behind several community groups, including CAP and the History Group and will be sorely missed. Further respects are paid to Nan McMurdo MBE, who passed away peacefully during the year. Nan received an MBE for her services to local disadvantaged and vulnerable people. We would also like to pay tribute to Eric Bennett, who's energy and leadership of Cumnock Juniors Community Enterprise inspired and supported so many people.
