PLANS to extend the commencement of a housing project in Kilmarnock have been approved by the council.

The housing project near Glasgow Road is set to create 29 detached houses, comprising a mix of three and four-bedroom homes.

The project originally received planning permission for 45 homes.

The newly granted application, however, reduces the number by 16 homes, and the overall approved design, layout, and infrastructure remain unchanged.

East Ayrshire Council approved the extension of the start date for the project, following a recommendation from a delegated officer.

The decision, issued on September 30, modified Conditions 1, 6, and 7 of the previously granted planning permission.

This effectively extends the commencement period for the project.

For instance, the bus stop relocation due to the development, originally required to be completed before site works start, must now be approved and operational before the first dwelling is occupied.

The site spans about 1.9–2 hectares and is situated west of Glasgow Road, bordered by housing, a Tesco, and a retail area.

The plot is identified as housing site KK-H6 in the local development plan and is deemed acceptable for development given unchanged policy and site conditions.

The council has imposed 38 conditions that must be adhered to for the project's progression.

To view the application in full, you can go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under reference 26/0403/PP.
