Ayrshire Housing consults on its latest development proposal
Ayrshire Housing consults with public on plans to develop in Kirkmichael
The lockdown has not stopped Ayrshire Housing from consulting with the public on its latest housing proposal. It is planning to build a further 13 houses in the pretty Ayrshire village of Kirkmichael.
The association is delighted to partner with the co-operatively run village shop in the distribution of the consultation booklet, in the collection of comments and being backed up by both organisations’ social media. The association’s Director Jim Whiston and architect Andrew Hunter were able also to present their proposals to the Community Council through a Zoom event.
Jim Whiston said: We are delighted with the response to our consultation. We will take on board the comments received as we prepare the planning application. Whilst we are using digital communication out of adversity at the moment, it’s more positively giving us ideas as to how we can communicate with our communities across Ayrshire in the long term.”
The proposed development consists of one, two and three-bedroom houses which meet the requirements of the association’s new design guide for adaptable and energy efficient housing. It is being designed by Thomson Hunter Architects of Kilmarnock which designed the housing scheme adjacent to the current site.
