Mr Mingyan He
Review statement 
The Cosy Corner 
15 Pathfoot Kilwinning
In recent weeks we have been in the process of retaining the premises
license from the previous owners Mr and Mrs Walker in order to continue the
operations of the public house. We would like for the review board to take into
consideration the current hardship of running a public house due to the
current economic climate. We believe that without the opportunity to offer
food to bar patrons aswell as offer a takeaway service the public house would
not be able to continue operating.
We are looking to continue running the public house and further develop the
building with the opportunity of the takeaway running alongside the public
house business offering Asian styled bar snacks and the option for takeaway.
The building itself has fallen to disrepair in recent times, we have a keen
interest to develop and modernise by fitting a state of the art kitchen,
refurbishing the current tired looking bar and reworking the external walls and
paintwork in order for the building to look more appealing which can only be
beneficial to the local community as the building is one of the first noticeable
buildings as you enter Kilwinning.
We understand the towns principles of developing the town center however
do believe that old buildings just outside are in need of developing in order for
them to continue trading and preventing them from being neglected. 
If the planning permissions where to be approved we can see the local
community benefitting from the creation of jobs which include, 
Contractors for building works
Kitchen and bar staff  (full time and part time vacancies)
Delivery drivers 
And opportunities for local food produce businesses 
Our current aim is to Hire 10-15 members of staff working in this business 
The building is currently located in an area which has a mix of commercial
and residential properties, an increase in footfall will be beneficial to the local
businesses and we would like to work closely with the local authority and
residents in order to find solutions to any issues that they may raise.

Relevant Development Plan Policies 
SP1 - Towns and Villages Objective
Towns and Villages Objective 
Our towns and villages are where most of our homes, jobs, community facilities,
shops and services are located. We want to continue to support our communities,
businesses and protect our natural environment by directing new development to
our towns and villages as shown in the Spatial Strategy. Within urban areas (within
the settlement boundary), the LDP identifies town centre locations, employment
locations and areas of open space. Most of the remaining area within settlements is
shown as General Urban Area. Within the General Urban Area, proposals for
residential development will accord with the development plan in principle, and
applications will be assessed against the policies of the LDP. New non-residential
proposals will be assessed against policies of this LDP that relate to the proposal.

Page 13

22/00292/PP 
In principle, we will support development proposals within our towns and villages
that: 
a) Support the social and economic functions of our town centres by adopting a
town centre first principle that directs major new development and investment to
town centre locations as a priority including supporting town centre living.
b) Provide the right new homes in the right places by working alongside the
Local Housing Strategy to deliver choice and variety in the housing stock, protecting
land for housing development to ensure we address housing need and demand
within North Ayrshire and by supporting innovative approaches to improving the
volume and speed of housing delivery.
c) Generate new employment opportunities by identifying a flexible range of
business, commercial and industrial areas to meet market demands including those
that would support key sector development at Hunterston and i3, Irvine.
d) Recognise the value of our built and natural environment by embedding
placemaking into our decision-making. 
e) Prioritise the re-use of brownfield land over greenfield land by supporting a
range of strategic developments that will deliver:
o regeneration of vacant and derelict land through its sustainable and
productive re-use, particularly at Ardrossan North Shore, harbour and marina areas,
Montgomerie Park (Irvine) and Lochshore (Kilbirnie).
o regeneration and conservation benefits, including securing the productive re-
use of Stoneyholm Mill (Kilbirnie) and supporting the Millport Conservation Area
Regeneration Scheme.
f) Support the delivery of regional partnerships such as the Ayrshire Growth
Deal in unlocking the economic potential of the Ayrshire region. 
Strategic Policy 2
Placemaking
Our Placemaking policy will ensure we are meeting LOIP priorities to make North
Ayrshire safer and healthier by ensuring that all development contributes to making
quality places.
The policy also safeguards, and where possible enhances environmental quality
through the avoidance of unacceptable adverse environmental or amenity impacts.
We expect that all applications for planning permission meet the six qualities of
successful places, contained in this policy. This is in addition to establishing the
principle of development in accordance with Strategic Policy 1: Spatial Strategy.
These detailed criteria are generally not repeated in the detailed policies section of
the LDP. They will apply, as appropriate, to all developments. 
Six qualities of a successful place 
Distinctive
The proposal draws upon the positive characteristics of the surrounding area
including landscapes, topography, ecology, skylines, spaces and scales, street and
building forms, and materials to create places with a sense of identity. 
Welcoming
The proposal considers the future users of the site and helps people to find their way
around, for example, by accentuating existing landmarks to create or improve views
(including sea views), locating a distinctive work of art in a notable place or making
the most of gateway features to and from the development. It should also ensure

Page 14

22/00292/PP
that appropriate signage and lighting is used to improve safety and illuminate
attractive buildings.
Safe and Pleasant
The proposal creates attractive places by providing a sense of security, including by
encouraging activity, considering crime rates, providing a clear distinction between
private and public space, creating active frontages and considering the benefits of
natural surveillance for streets, paths and open spaces.
The proposal creates a pleasant, positive sense of place by promoting visual quality,
encouraging social and economic interaction and activity, and by considering the
place before vehicle movement.
The proposal respects the amenity of existing and future users in terms of noise,
privacy, sunlight/daylight, smells, vibrations, glare, traffic generation, and parking.
The proposal sufficiently investigates and responds to any issues of ground
instability. 
Adaptable
The proposal considers future users of the site and ensures that the design is
adaptable to their needs. This includes consideration of future changes of use that
may involve a mix of densities, tenures, and typologies to ensure that future diverse
but compatible uses can be integrated including the provision of versatile multi-
functional greenspace. 
Resource Efficient
The proposal maximises the efficient use of resources. This can be achieved by re-
using or sharing existing resources and by minimising their future depletion. This
includes consideration of technological and natural means such as flood drainage
systems, heat networks, solar gain, renewable energy and waste recycling as well
as use of green and blue networks. 
Easy to Move Around and Beyond
The proposal considers the connectedness of the site for people before the
movement of motor vehicles, by prioritising sustainable and active travel choices,
such as walking, cycling and public transport and ensuring layouts reflect likely
desire lines, through routes and future expansions. 
Detailed Policy 3 -Town Centres & Retail
Policy 3: 
Town Centres and Retail 
Our town centres are the social and economic heart of our communities, providing
jobs, homes and employment. Appropriate development within our town centres has
the potential to improve their vitally and vibrancy. This can also ensure that
investment in our communities is directed in a way that is most beneficial to
residents, employees and visitors to our towns.
In principle, we will support development in our network of centres shown in
schedule 6 where it would be of a scale appropriate to that centre.
For development that has the potential to generate significant footfall, we will
support proposals that have adopted a town centre first sequential approach. This
includes retail and commercial leisure uses, offices, community and cultural facilities
and where appropriate, public buildings such as education and health facilities.
We will require that locations are considered, and a reasoned justification given for
discounting them, in the order of preference:
o Town centres (as defined in Strategic Policy 1).

Page 15

22/00292/PP
o Edge of town centres.
o Other commercial centres (as defined above).
o Out-of-centre locations that are, or can be made, easily accessible by a
choice of transport modes. 
We will be flexible and realistic in applying the sequential approach, in particular
where key sector and employment uses are proposed, to ensure that different uses
are developed in the most appropriate locations. It is important that community,
education and healthcare facilities are located where they are easily accessible to
the communities that they intend to serve. We recognise that for some uses, such as
sports centres and schools, a town centre location may not always be the
appropriate location for them, particularly where sports pitches are part of the
proposal.
When a development is proposed within our Network of Centres, we will support
proposals which positively contribute to:
o The role and function of the centre within the network, including by
addressing an identified opportunity.
o Quality of character and identity that creates a shared sense of place for
users, visitors and residents
o Community well-being, including by supporting the integration of residential
uses and by enhancing links with surrounding residential areas and tourist
attractions via the road and path network with associated blue & green network.
o Vitality, viability and vibrancy of the centre, supporting it as a place for
business to locate, expand and flourish by enhancing and diversifying the mix of
uses including supporting economic and social activity.
o Our important retail streets/areas (as described in schedule 6 and in our
Town Centre Audits), recognising the fragile nature of some of our retail areas.
o Accessibility of the town centre including considering the location of regular
rail and bus routes.
In principle, we will also support proposals which align with town centre strategies
and we will continue to encourage other
regeneration initiatives, such as Conservation Area renewal projects, which improve
the quality, accessibility and perception of town centre environments. 
Description 
Planning permission is sought for the change of use from lounge bar to hot food
takeaway and external alterations to include the erection of ventilation flue and
formation of access ramp at 15 Pathfoot in Kilwinning. 
The proposed change of use relates to an area to the rear of a public house, with a
floorspace of approx. 51 sqm. The area is currently used as a bar lounge and store.
The proposal would involve alterations to form a new kitchen area, store/pot wash
area, service counter, and accessible and staff toilets. An access ramp would be
formed to the southeast elevation of the building and would relate to a new entrance
to the building which would be formed of a new aluminium glazed door and side
screens. A ventilation flue would be installed on the southeast elevation of the
building.

Page 16

22/00292/PP
6 no. off street parking spaces would remain within the site. Waste storage and
collection would be provided via an external bin area located within the existing car
park. 
The application site consists of the rear section of The Cosy Corner public house
which fronts onto Pathfoot (A737). There is a car park located to the south of the
building. Vehicular and pedestrian access to the proposed hot food takeaway would
be via the car park. A bus stop is located immediately adjacent to the application site
on the public footpath. The surrounding area is formed primarily of residential
properties. However, there is also a used car dealership to the north and several
other business premises located further north along the A737 closer to Kilwinning
Town Centre. 
The application site is located within the General Urban Area within the settlement
boundary of Kilwinning as identified in the Adopted Local Development Plan (LDP).
Kilwinning Town Centre is located approx. 230m to the northwest of the site, an
approx. 3 - 5 minute walk. Therefore, the Towns and Villages Objective of Strategic
Policy 1 (Spatial Strategy) applies, and the application requires to be considered in
respect of Strategic Policy 2 (Placemaking) and Policy 3 (Town Centres and Retail). 
Consultations and Representations 
Neighbour notification was conducted for this application in accordance with
statutory procedures and and advertisement was placed in a local newspaper. Four
representations were received in response to the application, two in objection, one in
support, and one neither in objection to nor supporting the planning application. The
points raised are summarised below: 
1. Concern that the proposed hot food takeaway will increase the number and
frequency of vehicular traffic to the site. 
Response: The traffic and parking implications of the proposal are considered in the
Analysis section below. See also the consultation response from NAC Active Travel
and Transport (Roads). 
2. Concern regarding the parking associated with the proposed hot food
takeaway due to the current situation where vehicles park on the public footpath. 
Response: The traffic and parking implications of the proposal are considered in the
Analysis section below. See also the consultation response from NAC Active Travel
and Transport (Roads). The parking of private vehicles on the public footpath is not
a matter for Planning Services. 
3. Concern regarding litter associated with the hot food takeaway. 
Response: This is not a material planning consideration. Nonetheless, it is noted
that there is an existing waste bin located near the application site adjacent to the
bus shelter on the public footpath at Pathfoot. 
4. Concern regarding odour, noise, and disruption associated with the hot food
takeaway.

Page 17

22/00292/PP
Response: Amenity impacts including those highlighted are considered in the
Analysis section below. See also the consultation response from NAC
Environmental Health. 
5. Concern that no proper neighbour consultation has been undertaken as part
of the application process as neighbour notification letters were received 18th May
2022 the expiry date for public comments. 
Response: It is acknowledged that there was a delay in the delivery of the neighbour
noficiation letters for this application. Accordingly, additional time was made for
public comments. 
Consultations: 
NAC Environmental Health - no objections to the development subject to a range of
matters being addressed. In particular, the ventilation system for the hot food
takeaway. A letter has been sent directly from Environmental Health to the
applicant/agent regarding the matters raised. 
Response: A condition could be added to any consent regarding the ventilation
system. 
NAC Active Travel and Transport (Roads) - no transport related objections to this
proposal. There is sufficient parking and turning within the confines of the site to
accommodate the proposed development, such that it will not impact on the
adjacent public road network. 
Response: Noted. 
Scottish Water - no objection to this planning application. However, the application
should be aware that this does not confirm that the proposed development can
currently be serviced. Further advice given regarding water and wastewater
capacity, drinking water protected areas, surface water, general notes, and next
steps. 
Response: Noted. 
Analysis 
The Towns and Villages Objective of Strategic Policy 1 (Spatial Strategy) supports,
in principle, development proposals within North Ayrshire's towns and villages that
support the social and economic functions of its towns centres by adopting a town
centre first principle that directs major new development and investment to town
centre locations as a priority including supporting town centre living. The application
therefore requires to be considered with reference to Policy 3 (Town Centres and
Retail) in addition to Strategic Policy 2 (Placemaking). 
Firstly, in terms of Policy 3 (Town Centres and Retail), for development that has the
potential to generate significant footfall, the Council will support proposals that have
adopted a town centre first sequential approach. This includes a variety of uses and
it is considered that the proposed hot food takeaway facility would fall under this
type of development. Conversely, proposals which do not accord with Policy 3 may
be contrary to the aims of the LDP. In this case, the application site is located
outwith Kilwinning Town Centre and is within a General Urban Area as identified in

Page 18

22/00292/PP
the LDP. In the submitted application, it has not been demonstrated that
consideration has been given to the town centre first sequential approach. No
reasoned justification has been provided for discounting the relevant locations in the
order of preference (i.e., town centres, edge of town centres, other commercial
centres, and out of centre locations that are, or can be made easily accessible by a
choice of transport modes). 
As noted above, the application site is located outwith Kilwinning Town Centre and
within the General Urban Area of Kilwinning. The edge of Kilwinning Town Centre is
located within approx. 230 metres of the application site, within walking distance of
both the application site and the surrounding residential area with the primary
walking route along the A737 available via the public footpath network and a walking
time of around 3 - 5 minutes. Similarly, more immediate access to the town centre is
available via cycle and public transport with several bus stops located throughout
the surrounding residential area, or by private car. In these circumstances, it is not
considered that a hot food takeaway can be justified at this location in terms of the
town centre first principle. As such, the proposal would not accord with Policy 3
(Town Centres and Retail) and the associated town centre first principle and
sequential approach. The proposal would undermine the goal of Policy 3 (Town
Centres and Retail) to support the social and economic functions of the town centre. 
The application also requires to be considered in accordance with Strategic Policy 2
(Placemaking). The stated purpose of Strategic Policy 2 on Placemaking is to
ensure "all development contributes to making quality places." The policy also seeks
to "safeguard, and where possible enhances environmental quality through the
avoidance of adverse environmental or amenity impacts." Strategic Policy 2
(Placemaking) identifies six qualities of a successful place which all applications for
planning permission are expected to meet. In this case, it is considered that the
'Safe and Pleasant' quality is most relevant. 
In terms of the Safe and Pleasant quality, it is noted that proposals should respect
the amenity of existing and future users of an area in terms of noise, privacy,
sunlight/daylight, smells, vibrations, glare, traffic generation, and parking. It is
acknowledged that the proposed hot food takeaway facility has the potential to
cause nuisance to neighbouring residents by way of adverse noise and odours
created through cooking processes and transport impacts through the pickup and
delivery of hot food sales. 
A ventilation flue is proposed to the southeast facing side elevation of the building.
NAC Environmental Health has no objections to the development subject to a range
of matters being addressed, including the ventilation system for the hot food
takeaway. 
In terms of traffic generation and parking, it is proposed that 6 no. off street parking
spaces would remain within the site within the existing car park area off the A737.
NAC Active Travel and Transport (Roads) has no transport related objections to this
proposal observing that there is sufficient parking and turning within the confines of
the site to accommodate the proposed development, such that it will not impact on
the adjacent public road network. 
In light of above, it is acknowledged that any noise and odour impacts resulting from
the proposed hot food takeaway facility could potentially be mitigated through an
appropriately designed ventilation system. There is existing parking provided at the
site which would remain and could accommodate any associated vehicular travel,

Page 19

22/00292/PP
provided it is used for short stay purposes. However, it is also recognised that the
surrounding area to the application site is primarily residential in character and
appearance, with the exception of the existing public house and the car dealership
to the north. As noted above, it is not considered that the application site is of
adequate distance away from Kilwinning Town Centre to justify the siting of a hot
food takeaway in this location. Similarly, it is considered that the siting of a hot food
takeaway facility within a primarily residential area would be inappropriate and would
adversely impact on the residential character and amenity of the surrounding area. It
is noted that the existing public house already represents a "bad neighbour" in the
area. However, it is considered that the addition of a further "bad neighbour" use
with the potential to cause nuisance to neighbouring residents by way of adverse
noise and odours would not be appropriate. 
Therefore, it is not considered that the proposal meets the relevant criteria of a
successful place as identified in Strategic Policy 2 (Placemaking). 
Based on the above observations, the proposal does not accord with the relevant
policies of the LDP and there are no other material considerations to indicate
otherwise. Therefore, planning permission should be refused.
