Rural Areas – South Ayrshire RURAL AFFAIRS AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE RURAL HOUSING INQUIRY SUBMISSION FROM SOUTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL RURAL AREAS – SOUTH AYRSHIRE DEFINITION OF RURAL AREAS South Ayrshire has two distinct housing market areas Ayr HMA and Girvan/ South Carrick. Area Profiling Research carried out in 2007 concluded that for the purposes of the area profiling tool the area should be should be sub- divided into 7 sub-areas Ayr, Prestwick, Troon, Maybole, and Rural North Girvan and Rural South. This was considered the most policy-relevant geography for the area-profiling tool to report at and provides a meaningful geography for considering the requirement for interventions concerned with issues such as enhancing ‘connectivity’ between localities and land supply. The sub areas Rural North and Rural South contain these settlements within South Ayrshire of less than 3,000. However some settlements may not meet definition on level of remoteness with reference to travelling times to larger settlements.

LEVEL OF HOMELESSNESS The vast majority of homeless applications made to South Ayrshire Council are from applicants whose last settled address was Ayr. Recorded Homelessness in Rural areas of Ayrshire is relatively low. In a snapshot of live homeless applicants taken May 2007 of the total (221) only 5% (11) were from applicants in the Rural South or Rural North of the area. We currently are unable to provide any estimate of “hidden homelessness” within rural areas. It is believed that many rural homeless households may gravitate towards the larger settlements in seeking accommodation Contextual Information Rural North Rural North contains several suburban and commuting settlements as well as more rural localities.
