The subjects comprise a fairly regular shaped hardstanding site which is currently used as an informal car park and historically forms land to the rear of former garage premises on Main Street, Prestwick which were subsequently re-developed to form two large retail units with the subject site remaining as surplus land.
The site appears to be bound by predominantly brick walls/fencing and is accessed directly from Salisbury Place, which is a cul-de-sac accessed from Ladykirk Road, both of which are residential in nature and predominantly tenemental flats. Salisbury Place also provides access to the rear of the retail units on Main Street for loading.
PLANNING
The subjects fall within the boundary of South Ayrshire Councils Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) which was adopted in 2022. Planning Permission in Principle (REF: 23/00642/PPP) has been granted for the erection of 5 x Class 1A units. Appropriate uses which may be considered by the Council are detailed in the appropriate Policy. All planning queries should be made directly to South Ayrshire Council.
The buildings will be of a simple construction, steel frame and metal cladding/brickwork external envelope, providing a robust and attractive contemporary solution. This will allow the occupiers to benefit from a clear span floor plan which will provide as flexible a workspace as possible. The development will incorporate 11 parking spaces, which includes 2 accessible parking spaces plus an area set-aside for PTW’s and a secure 2 tier storage shelter for cycles. With the existing electric substation adjacent to the site there may be scope to include EV charging stations.
