Plans for 22 new homes in Cumnock are yet to receive much public backing, as the deadline for feedback looms.

The application is for the homes to be built on land close to Cameron Crescent.

Public feedback has unanimously objected to the plans so far, with various reasons being cited.

Site plans show that access to the residential area would be between two homes currently on Cameron Crescent.

A design statement attached to plans says that "there are a variety of access solutions that can be explored and utilised to serve the site."

The statement adds: "The scale of development would not be detrimental to the local amenities and indeed may benefit the new school.

"We don’t believe the development would negatively impact on the Housing Land Supply and would potentially assist by providing much needed housing to the South of the town.

"The approved recycling plant opposite had a Noise Impact Assessment carried out which showed no mitigation required to Cameron Crescent.

"There is an opportunity to enhance the connectivity of the surrounding area and beyond for community benefit by building on well-trodden routes already enjoyed by many locals.

"The introduction of a small pedestrian bridge over the Glaisnock Water at an appropriate location would provide excellent access to Caponacre Industrial Estate as well as onto well-established walking routes."

Despite the supportng statement, it seems like public support is at a minimum for this development.

Of the 18 public comments posted by members of the community about the plans, all of them are objections.

Brian Stirling commented: "There are 28 detached houses on Cameron Crescent and 36 houses on John Allan Drive with 27 being dual households.

"From a vehicle perspective, this relates to 91 households which, based on two cars per household, equates to 182 cars or more if based on this plan.

"Fifty-five more would turn a bad situation into a nightmare".

While a Mrs Clark added: "I cannot explain enough how bad the street is now with having residents from John Allan [Drive] and Cameron Crescent coming down the one-way street.

"It will be total carnage".

The neighbour consultation expiry date is set for Tuesday, July 11, with plans set to expire on Tuesday, July 18.

It will then go before the planning committee at some stage after the summer recess.
