Tournament Park will form an important role in delivering much needed new housing for Irvine. It is one of the most significant development projects in the West of Scotland.
Extending to 75 acres (30.5 Ha) the Park has capacity to deliver hundreds of new homes, next to jobs, integrate with and develop existing infrastructure and enhance the surrounding community by delivering much needed new housing. These homes will be suitable for those who wish to live within close proximity to nearby jobs, shops and with good accessibility to the town centre amenities.
Tournament Park is an outstanding location. The rigorous analysis of site infrastructure, environmental conditions and the market, provide a sound basis for a mixed-use development.
Location
Tournament Park is one of the most accessible locations for development in North Ayrshire. The location benefits from an unrivalled access to the strategic road network (A78, A71 and M77), railway network, Prestwick/Glasgow International Airports as well as existing bus facilities and services.
Its close connection to a wide range of public transport options means that it is easily accessible from across Ayrshire as well as Central Scotland and Dumfries and Galloway. International connections are also possible with Prestwick Airport just minutes away via road and train. Residents will have a real opportunity to lead more sustainable lifestyles, with most of their needs within walking or cycling distance.
The combination of these wide ranging and sustainable transport options mean that residents will have several available and viable modes of transport from which to choose.
The site has potential for a clear access strategy during construction which will enable multiple housebuilders to be accommodated on each phase in a manner which is sensitive to the environment for new residents of the Park.

PLANNING
North Ayrshire Council is progressing work for a new Local Development Plan (LDP2), which is intended to be adopted in 2019.
North Ayrshire Local Development Plan (Proposed) identifies the whole of Tournament Park as a prospective development site within the urban envelope (General Urban Area).
Prior to making an application for Planning Permission in Principle, the Developer is seeking to explore the level of market demand for a wide range of possible uses including (but not limited to) residential, care home, local retail, local leisure, and roadside services.
