It is a neighbourhood: a neighbourhood with homes, shops to serve local and daily needs and workplaces for small businesses. Situated on the edge of the historic town of Cumnock in Ayrshire and on the edge of Dumfries House Estate, it is less than half an hour from Ayr and Kilmarnock and only 45 minutes from Glasgow. By drawing on the timeless language of traditional design, the community is being built to last and will continue to look beautiful for years to come. Streets and homes each have their own character and encourage a sense of community. A network of paths allows walking and cycling to Dumfries House, Cumnock, Auchinleck and beyond. Adam Square will be at the centre of the new neighbourhood with a public building as its focal point. The mix of homes, shops and workplaces ensures Knockroon will be a vibrant place to work, live and visit – a pleasant place to be. 3 Knockroon Vision and Masterplan In July 2007, His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, put together a rescue package in conjunction with the Scottish Government, Historic Scotland, The Prince’s Charities Foundation and others, to save Dumfries House for the nation. Subsequently, The Prince’s Foundation For The Built Environment led an Enquiry by Design to explore options to develop the land on Knockroon Farm, adjacent to the Estate. A vision emerged of a sustainable urban extension to the historic town of Cumnock, or, in everyday language, a new neighbourhood which would be designed and built to last. 4 Main design principles A walkable neighbourhood encouraging social A road design where people rather than interaction and a strong sense of community walking, cycling and playing A mix of sizes and types of homes A road layout that means that highway signage is not needed and that the Workshops and commercial units streetscape is therefore more attractive interspersed with homes High quality architecture and natural materials Attractive homes with designs based on local architecture that will last for many decades to come Good connections to public transport and path networks to encourage walking and cycling and reduce car dependency The Prince’s Charities Foundation The Prince’s Charities Foundation is taking forward Knockroon as a sustainable mixed-use development that will serve as a model community for Scotland. It is hoped and believed that this development will not only create employment and help bring prosperity to the area, but will once loans associated with the development have been repaid. 5 Hope Homes Scotland and ZeroC Respected Ayrshire housebuilder, Hope Homes Scotland, and sustainable housebuilder, ZeroC, are working with the Prince’s Foundation For The Built Environment to deliver the new sustainable community called Knockroon.
