A PLANNING application has been submitted to transform a former therapy centre into a home in Kilmarnock.

The plan is for Maxwell Cottage, on High Glencairn Street, to move from commercial use to residential.

Applicant Liam Russell, representing Alliam Energy Limited, is seeking full planning permission for the change.

According to the proposal, the site, which is solely owned by Mr Russell, covers 90 sqm and is not part of any agricultural holding.

Before formally submitting the application, Mr Russell discussed his plans with a planning authority duty officer.

The summary of this feedback stated that there was unlikely to be any difficulty in approving the change of use, as the building had previously been a residential property.

Currently connected to the public water network, Maxwell Cottage has no trees on site, is not located within a known flood area, and has an area at the back of the building allocated for waste storage.

No environmental reports, such as flood risk, sustainable urban drainage systems, or contaminated land documents, are required.

To view the full application, you can go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under the reference 25/0512/PP.
