About the area

Planning in East Ayrshire

Kilmarnock is the main town in East Ayrshire, which runs from the Irvine Valley lace towns of Galston, Newmilns and Darvel south to Cumnock, Auchinleck, New Cumnock and Dalmellington. East Ayrshire Council handles planning across the area under NPF4 and its Local Development Plan.

The south carries the legacy of coal mining, including large former opencast sites where restoration remains a planning issue, and its uplands host many wind farms. Dumfries House near Cumnock is a notable heritage estate, and part of the area lies within the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere. Kilmarnock town centre, the needs of former mining communities and the Ayrshire Growth Deal shape the council's priorities. Planners here deal with energy, land restoration, rural housing and town-centre schemes.
