A retiring councillor bowed out after sparking a fiery debate over the allocation of land for 350 new homes in Stewarton.
The proposal was made as part of the discussions on East Ayrshire Council's Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) - a document which will outline the types of residential, business and industrial developments allowed across the authority.
LDP2 proposes the allocations of land for 350 homes at Kilwinning Road, but on the condition that the developer agrees to supply land on the site for a new primary school and community facilities.
