Action Programme | February 2020 Part 2 – Allocated Housing Sites

A key focus of the Local Development Plan has been to stimulate the housing market in North Ayrshire in response to Council and community planning partnership ambitions for population growth.

We have worked closely with industry body, Homes for Scotland, developers and local communities to allocate new sites proven to be effective, backed by builders with a track record, with the expectation that this can have a transformational impact on the housing sector by stimulating demand and demonstrating that land values and sales rates in the region could prove viable, and thereby promote other interests. A

These six additional housing sites are allocated by the LDP following this approach and form Schedule 2a of the plan. A key role of this Action Programme and the Housing Land Audit will be overseeing and monitoring the delivery of these and all other housing sites (Schedule 2b, 3 and 4 – see Part 3). D

Our housing land supply includes sites included within the Strategic Housing Investment Plan, which sets out the priorities for C affordable housing investment in North Ayrshire. E A. West of Newhouse Drive, Kilbirnie B B. Lochlibo Road, Irvine
