The purpose of this report is to present for determination of an application for planning permission, to be considered by the Planning Committee under the current scheme of delegation as it is a Major Development as defined by the Town and Country Planning (Hierarchy of Developments) (Scotland) Regulations 2009. 2. This application has been considered against the Development Plan policies and is not considered to be significantly contrary to the Development Plan. The appropriate route for a decision on this application is therefore consideration and determination by the Planning Committee as detailed within the Scheme of Delegation. RECOMMENDATION 3. It is recommended that the application be approved subject to the conditions listed on the attached sheet at Appendix 1 and that prior to any decision notice being released, an Agreement in terms of Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (as amended) requires to be entered into in relation to the matters referred to in paragraph 69 above. CONTRARY DECISION NOTE 4. Should the Committee agree that the application be refused contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Economic Development on a matter of detail, the application will not require to be referred to The Council because that would not represent a significant departure from the development plan. 5. If however the Committee agree to refuse planning permission on the basis of the principle of residential development then any such decision would be a significant departure from the Development Plan and the application would then require to be referred to The Council. Michael Keane Head of Planning and Economic Development Note: This document combines key sections of the associated report for quick reference and should not in itself be considered as having been the basis for recommendation preparation or decision making by the Planning Authority. EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE: 26 AUGUST 2016 15/0731/PP: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH ASSOCIATED OPEN SPACE AND INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING CREATION OF A NEW ROUNDABOUT TO ACCESS THE SITE FROM THE ON RAMP OF THE A71 TO NORTH EAST OF THE SITE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SITE MAXHOLM ROAD, RICCARTON, KILMARNOCK EAST AYRSHIRE BY SPRINGFIELD PROPERTIES PLC Report by Head of Planning and Economic Development, Economy and Skills PURPOSE OF REPORT 1. The purpose of this report is to present for determination of an application for planning permission, to be considered by the Planning Committee under the current scheme of delegation as it is a Major Development as defined by the Town and Country Planning (Hierarchy of Developments) (Scotland) Regulations 2009. 2. This application has been considered against the Development Plan policies and is not considered to be significantly contrary to the Development Plan. The appropriate route for a decision on this application is therefore consideration and determination by the Planning Committee as detailed within the Scheme of Delegation. APPLICATION DETAILS 3. Site Description: The application site is located approximately 2 km from Kilmarnock Town Centre. The site is rectangular in shape and grass covered and has a slope towards the north side. The site falls into two distinct areas, one being land previously developed for local authority housing (Barnweil Road/Maxholm Road) and the other being an undeveloped grassed area west of the former housing. The site is bounded to the east by existing local authority housing in Granger Road and to the south by private housing in Darnley Drive. The northern boundary is formed by the A71 dual carriageway and the western boundary is formed by a further area of undeveloped land. The road network that previously served Barnweil Road and Granger Road has been retained. 4. Proposed Development: Planning permission is sought for the erection of 224 affordable homes comprising a mix of single storey and two storey, 2 bed semi- detached, 2 bed bungalows and 3 bed semi-detached and terraced houses. The development will be accessed from a new roundabout to the north-east of the site formed on the existing slip road onto the A71. The current road network within the eastern part of the site will be reused whereas a new road network will be created within the western part of the site. A road-link will be retained to permit future expansion onto the adjoining undeveloped land, which is also allocated for residential development. The land between the two groups of housing will be retained as public open space for amenity and recreational purposes (including a children’s play area). 5. The applicant has submitted supporting information with their application comprising Archaeology Reports, Pre Application Consultation Report, Planning Supporting Statement, Noise Impact Assessment, Transport Assessment, Flood Risk Assessment with Drainage Calculations and Design and Access Statement. 6. The applicant undertook Pre Application Consultation under The Town and Country Planning (Hierarchy of Developments) (Scotland) Regulations 2009 prior to lodging this application. A public event was held in Riccarton Community Centre over two consecutive days in June 2015. The first event took place on Wednesday 24th June between 11am-3pm and was attended by 17 people. The second event was held on Thursday 25th June between 3pm-6:45pm, at the Riccarton Community Centre. The applicant’s report advises that the main points of support included residents being encouraged to see something happening with the land, advantages of the proposed roundabout and people interested in the houses for themselves. The main points of concern included potential access issues including site traffic, congestion at Stonyhill Avenue/Ayr Road junction, issues with subsidence, flooding and development on greenspace. Further concerns highlighted by attendees comprised the implementation of social housing and lack of local employment. CONSULTATIONS & ISSUES RAISED 7. East Ayrshire Council Housing Services advised that as strategic housing authority the Council’s proposals seek to support the aim of town centre regeneration. The Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2015/16 to 2019/20 seeks to promote and sustain housing standards across East Ayrshire through the provision of high quality new affordable housing. The approved Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) allows for a notional figure of 30 affordable houses to be developed on the Council owned site at Riccarton West in 2019/20. The proposals being promoted by Springfield seek to deliver 224 new affordable houses, all to be developed for social rent, and are contrary to the SHIP. Whilst the Council supports new build affordable housing being developed on the Council owned cleared site the development proposal rests on the premise that both the site owned by Springfield and the Council owned site will be developed for the provision of affordable housing on a scale and timeframe that the SHIP does not contain. Springfield’s proposals take no account of the Council’s stated priorities for new build development across the whole of the Council area over the coming five year period and essentially assume the use of a five-year programme of grant to facilitate the development rather than seeking to deliver one of the stated aims of the SHIP which is development of the site at Riccarton West, alongside all the other sites, in priority order. At 224 units, the scale of the programme proposed would require a level of grant approximately equal to the whole of the five year SHIP programme. The proposal would not only run counter to the approved SHIP programme but would not allow affordable housing development in the other identified settlements across East Ayrshire. Noted. Any funding matters would be a matter for the applicants and Housing Services to address separate to this planning application. The granting of planning permission in no way commits the Council to funding the application through the SHIP, so if Members decided to grant planning consent in this instance, then there is no obligation on the Housing Service or Members to bring forward this site for funding contrary to the SHIP as that would be part of separate negotiations. 8. East Ayrshire Council Environmental Health (EHS) (Contaminated Land) initially advised that there were no objections in principle. However due to the sensitive nature of the development (residential housing and gardens), along with a lack of detailed information on the site’s history recommended that prior to granting planning permission, as a minimum, a desk based study should be undertaken to establish whether there is potential for contaminants to be present. A further consultation reply noted that the information supplied in support of the request for a desk study was insufficient in that it was reliant on data from previous site investigations carried out in 2006 and 2008. This data, although still valid, was not compared to current soil guideline values in order to provide an accurate assessment of the soil conditions at the site. Following submission of further information, Contaminated Land Officer has confirmed that the development is acceptable provided that the remedial works specified in the application are implemented and a verification report submitted to the Planning Authority. These matters can be conditioned if Members choose to grant consent. 9. East Ayrshire Council Education Service has no objections noting that Kirkstyle Primary School (PS) and Kilmarnock Academy have adequate capacity to meet the new demand arising from the development.

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.

  • Kilmarnock: Building Our Future
    Page 1 KILMARNOCK:BUILDING OUR FUTURE INTRODUCTION Kilmarnock, at the heart of East Ayrshire, is a town in transition. The combination of increasing numbers of people choosing to come and live in the town as well as an improving economic outlook provides a ‘window of opportunity` to recreate a prosperous, invigorated town. This strategy seeks to grasp these opportunities and re- establish Kilmarnock as an important economic driving force for the West of Scotland. Our strategy for Kilmarnock sits at the heart of the East Ayrshire Community Plan and shares the vision set out within that document, that: ‘East Ayrshire will be a place with strong, vibrant communities where everyone has a good quality of life and access to opportunities, choices and high quality services which are sustainable, accessible and meet people’s needs` It is within the context of the Community Plan that the strategy will be successfully delivered. Audit Scotland on behalf of The Accounts Commission in a recent audit of East Ayrshire Council’s performance in relation to Best Value and Community Planning stated that: ‘It (the Council) is firmly committed to tackling the problems of unemployment, poverty and health that exist within a number of its communities. Through strong leadership…., a positive attitude to change throughout the organisation and effective working with its community planning partners the Council is becoming well placed to deliver on its long term vision for the area` (page 6). Page 2 The Community Plan sets the challenge to maximise the development potential that exists within Kilmarnock which, when realised, will benefit not just the inhabitants of the town itself but the wider economy of East Ayrshire, Ayrshire as a whole and play a significant role in the growth of the economy of the Glasgow Metropolitan Region.

  • 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.

Having satisfied ourselves that the council’s consultation and engagement exercises conformed with their participation statement, our examination of the plan commenced on 7 January 2014. We have completed the examination, and now submit our report, enclosing one bound copy. In our examination we considered all 107 issues arising from unresolved representations which were identified by the council. In each case we have taken account of the summaries of the representations and the responses, as prepared by the council, and the original representations, and we have set out our conclusions and recommendations in relation to each issue in our report. The examination process also included a comprehensive series of unaccompanied site inspections and, for some issues we requested additional information from the authority and other parties. We also found it necessary to arrange a hearing session on housing land, which was held at Low Parks Museum, Hamilton on 28 May 2014. On 23 June 2014 Scottish Ministers published National Planning Framework (NPF) 3 and updated Scottish Planning Policy (SPP). Where necessary, we invited parties to comment on the implications, if any, of these publications for the matters under consideration in the examination.
