Location
The site is to the west of Kilmarnock, adjacent to Annandale
Golf Course.
Development proposals
This greenfield residential development site extends
to around 23 hectares. It is allocated in the East Ayrshire
Local Plan for 360 houses. Lands Improvement secured
outline planning permission for the site in 2003 and
subsequently obtained full planning permission for the
creation of development platforms and the installation
of all infrastructure. A Design Guide was agreed with
the Council to ensure a high quality approach to design
proposals.
Project status
Phase 1 (245 units) was sold to Bellway Homes and Robertson
Homes in 2005. Lands Improvement constructed the main
site roundabout and installed all off-site drainage
and services. Bellway installed the main spine road
and all infrastructure. Bellway are currently building
out their site which is called Springhill Meadows and
the first residents moved in during the summer of 2006.
Robertson have begun building their Fishers Grange scheme
and sold a considerable number off plan.
Lands Improvement installed the drainage infrastructure
for Phase 2 and created the main development platform
in Spring 2006. Phase 2 was put on the market in Summer
2006 and has now been sold to Persimmon Homes.
