Councillors have refused planning permission for the £50m Barony Wellness Eco-Park project after the tightest of votes.
East Ayrshire Council’s planning committee was split six votes apiece after a hearing this morning.
The proposed development would feature a range of facilities such as visitor accommodation, activity zone, yoga terrace and dance studio, cafe, spa and a ‘productive landscapes hub’ with a variety of workshops and venues on the site of the former Barony Colliery adjacent to the Barony A-Frame, outside Auchinleck.
