Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is contrary to Overarching Policy SS2 of the East Ayrshire Local Development Plan 2024. The proposal fails to comply with all the relevant policies within the East Ayrshire Local Development Plan 2024 and the Spatial Strategy for development within the conservation area and town centre. The car park will detrimentally affect the distinctiveness of the area with the formation of a car park creating an unattractive void in the streetscape that will detrimentally affect the amenity and setting of the conservation area and town centre environments.
  2. The proposal is contrary to Policies HE2, DES1 and TC1 of the East Ayrshire Local Development Plan 2024 and Policies 6, 14 and 27 of NPF4. The formation of a car park will leave an open, unattractive, stark, paved void in the established development pattern which would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area. OPIS Documents.
