PLANS have been unveiled to upgrade and extend a listed Kilmarnock building for young carers.

A planning application has been lodged to remodel Howard Park House in Howard Park Drive, which is currently used as a non-residential institution.

The proposal involves demolishing three deteriorated extensions and adding a new rear and side extension for improved circulation.

Internally, plans suggest creating a 140 square metre non-residential floor space, which includes a 122 square metre multi-functional area, offices, an enlarged kitchen, and more.

The former front entrance is to be transformed into a window-seat area in a one-to-one room, with a new accessible path leading to Howard Park.

With sustainability in mind, the project takes a fabric-first approach, increasing insulation and using efficient doors and windows.

Air-source heat pumps, underfloor heating, and solar panels are also part of the plan.

For biodiversity, the garden is to remain with additional planting.

To view the application in full, you can go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under reference 26/0372/PP.
