Nearly 100 new homes have been earmarked for Coylton - as the Ayrshire village braces itself for its FOURTH major planning application in four months.
Ayrshire Live can exclusively reveal how Ayr-based Viga Homes has targeted a parcel of land to build a total of 93 new homes in Lochfergus Crescent.
The application, which states is a Proposal of Application Notice for a new residential development, associated infrastructure works including landscaping, has today appeared on the South Ayrshire Council online planning portal- and is listed as ‘pending consideration.’
Sketches show 93 units built in nine phases with “four to six different house types,” generally single storey bungalows with a “mix of detached and semi-detached” properties.
News of this fresh application comes on the back of three separate planning applications to build in the village since November.
Back in November, Ayrshire Live told how a total of 53 houses will be developed at Manse Road, made up of 40 private homes and 13 affordable homes.
At the time there were five objections to the proposals, but despite this, it was green lighted.
And in December we told you how plans were in place for 176 static caravans on land at Woodhead Road.
Montgomery Forgan Associates, the firm behind the plans, requested a ‘change of use of agricultural land to form a holiday lodge style caravan park’, which would also see associated drainage, access road and site infrastructure included in the plans.
The proposals sparked numerous objections, mainly over environmental and infrastructure concerns.
And last month we brought you the news that a proposal to build 11 villas in the village’s Hole Road area prompted objections from concerned residents.
Viga Homes are also behind the Hole Road proposals, which is just a stone’s throw away from Lochfergus Crescent.
