Housing proposal consultation

A public consultation is being held on a new assisted housing development.

The proposed scheme is earmarked for Mauchline’s Kilmarnock Road.

The proposals - which have been developed by East Ayrshire Council in conjunction with developer CCG (Scotland) Ltd and its design team - could see an assisted living development and three wheelchair accessible bungalows being built for the East Ayrshire health and social care partnership.

Robert McCulloch, interim head of housing and communities, said: “Public consultations are a normal part of any proposed housing development and it is essential that the local community have their say before we submit a planning application.

“Normally we hold community events and invite local people to attend public meetings but COVID-19 restrictions mean that we will be holding all our public consultations online.”

Councillor Jacqui Todd, cabinet member for housing, welfare and poverty, added: “The development proposed for Mauchline will enable residents to live independently and safely in the local community, with support from health and social care services, in an environment that promotes social interaction.

MAST Architects has prepared a consultation booklet that can be viewed online, downloaded or sent by post. The booklet provides details of the proposed site layout and floor plans for the houses, along with some indicative visualisations of what the development may look like.

If you require a paper copy, call either 07717 516965 or 07561 676479 and leave your name and address. A booklet will be posted with a freepost return envelope.
