Seven heaven

Proposals to build seven new chalets at Lochside in New Cumnock were approved.

The plush pods set to be built by The RAD Hotel Group are single storey, with two large double bedrooms, patio and hot tub.

Based within close proximity of the water’s edge of the Loch of the Lowes, the site area has largely been cleared and the new access track appears to be already largely constructed, according to planners at East Ayrshire Council.
