CRUDEN Homes has submitted a planning application for a new housing development overlooking Ayr Racecourse.
Designed by Yeoman McAllister Architects, the proposed development aims to transform overgrown brownfield land to the east of Ayr Racecourse, adjacent to Craigie Road, into a new neighbourhood of 42 homes, including a mix of private and affordable properties.
The homes will be a combination of terraced, semi-detached, and detached properties, set within landscaped surroundings. New tree and hedge planting will strengthen the site’s natural setting, while mature trees and a historic stone boundary wall will be retained and enhanced.
All homes will be equipped with Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points and air source heat pumps.
Andrew Duncan, land director of Cruden Homes, said, “With a strong track record of delivering high-quality, sustainable new homes across the central belt, it’s fantastic to extend our presence into South Ayrshire. This proposed development will create a well-connected extension to an existing neighbourhood of Ayr, offering a diverse mix of much-needed homes designed around people, place, and community.”
The planning application follows a pre-application consultation process with South Ayrshire Council, where feedback from the planning department is said to have played a key role in shaping the final proposals.
Pending detailed planning consent, Cruden Homes expects to start work on site in 2026.
