Additional Material © South Ayrshire Council 2007. FOREWORD Rich in environmental quality, South Ayrshire has many attractions to those of us fortunate enough to live or work in the area. The scenic quality of the landscape, our parks and open spaces, the countryside, the historic towns and villages, and the outstanding natural beauty of the coastline are only some of the many assets that residents and visitors can enjoy. Maintaining and improving on these assets, the high architectural quality of many residential streets, the vitality of the town centres, the continued prosperity of Glasgow Prestwick International Airport and the rural development of the countryside are critical to improving the economic fortunes of South Ayrshire. The South Ayrshire Local Plan provides a key tool in ensuring that these aims are delivered. In setting out the development strategy for the area for the period to 2012, the local plan promotes new development in the right locations and ensures that the consequences for the public services and infrastructure, such as roads and schools, are known; with provisions being put in place to deal with any impacts. Some of the most noticeable examples of this are the major developments proposed at Greenan in Ayr, North East Troon, and in the longer term at South East Ayr. The local plan has provisioned thirty two new housing developments, enabling more than 2,000 new homes to be built throughout South Ayrshire. In all these locations, not only have measures been put in place to ensure that the potential development consequences are mitigated, but in addition other community benefits, such as a proportion of affordable housing, are inherent requirements to the development. Housing is only one of the many land uses promoted for development. The local plan also makes provision for business and industrial needs; it assists rural diversification, and plans for the needs of Glasgow Prestwick International Airport. Policies to protect the vitality and viability of town centres, but allow some new shopping developments at Heathfield are also set out. A flexible and dynamic policy framework to allow the evolving needs of the University of West of Scotland to be accommodated, where appropriate, are also incorporated to deliver on one of the core objectives of the Plan : to promote economic development through further education and research institutions. The adoption of the South Ayrshire Local Plan on the 6th April 2007 is the conclusion to the process that began with publication of a Draft Plan and then a Finalised Plan. Many of you will have taken up the opportunity to engage with the consultative stages of the plan and some of you will have participated in the Public Local Plan Inquiry. The Council has now fully considered the recommendations of the Scottish Executive Reporters on that Inquiry and it is these considerations, taking on board comments that were submitted at various stages of plan preparation, that now forms the adopted local plan. None of the development proposals set out in this plan, or the ongoing protection and improvement of the valued environment, can take place without the continued partnership working of the community, key government agencies and the prospective investors. Delivery of the provisions of the South Ayrshire Local Plan is a priority for the Council, and I now invite you to join with us to ensure that our valued environment is nurtured and our economic prosperity enhanced.
