KILMARNOCK'S New Laigh Kirk has lodged plans to install a new kitchen and ventilation system.

The church, a building of special architectural or historic interest, has applied for listed building consent to make these changes.

The proposal, submitted by the New Laigh Kirk Congregational Board, aims to create a commercial-standard kitchen within the church, with the installation of ventilation grilles in a window.

The planned renovations include changes to both the interior and the exterior of the building.

The new kitchen will be set off the main circulation area, with a layout and services as specified by RH Morton.

A sound desk will stay in place, while some internal doors will be replaced or moved.

The updated plans now include a new hot water tank, and rooflights previously planned have been removed.

Externally, the proposed changes focus on the new ventilation window grilles, which will serve the kitchen.

The grilles have been chosen for their minimal external impact.

Inside, there will also be improvements to accessibility between levels, with the addition of a 1 in 15 access ramp.

To view the application in full, you can go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under reference 26/0356/LB.
