Prince's Plans For Brand New Neighbourhood Jul 10 2009 A PLANNING application has gone in to create a new neighbourhood of Knockroon at Cumnock. The bid envisages 770 housing units with associated shops, workplaces, community facilities and open spaces, all within walking distance. Of the 770, it is planned to build 250 by 2017, 330 by 2035, and the remainder thereafter. The plan has been submitted by the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment to East Ayrshire Council. Knockroon will be built on land acquired by Prince Charles as part of his purchase of Dumfries House. The outline planning application was submitted following consultation with the local community. And a decision is expected from East Ayrshire Council in the autumn, with a positive outcome likely. Two developers have been appointed, and if the outline plan is approved they will go on to prepare detailed designs and applications. The developers are Aberdeenshire-based Scotia Homes, and Zero C, who were involved with the Prince’s similar project in Poundbury on the edge of Dorchester.
