PLANS have been submitted to transform a vacant industrial unit in Kilmarnock into an indoor golf training facility.

Titled the Twenty Fore Golf Studio, the year-round facility is seeking planning permission for change of use from light industrial to assembly and leisure.

The golf studio will be housed in Bellsland Grove on Glencairn Industrial Estate.

Proposals suggest it will not be a general entertainment venue, but rather a sports training and coaching environment.

The studio is set to feature simulator technology for ball-flight data, swing analysis, and structured coaching, all run by a PGA professional coach.

It will have two simulator bays, one for left- and right-handed players, and the other for right-handers only.

It also includes a putting green and a training aids area, alongside other facilities.

The unit, recognised as being vacant for over a year, is anticipated to have lower traffic than light-industrial, retail, food or distribution uses.

Membership will be capped at 50 members.

Other attributes of the proposal include an entirely indoor structure to minimise noise disruption to neighbouring businesses, alongside health and safety measures like fire equipment and a planned evacuation procedure.

To view the full application, go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under reference 26/0181/PP.
