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.
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.
Appendix 2
14

Page 15

22/00987/PP
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
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.
15

Page 16

22/00987/PP
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. 
Description 
Planning permission is sought for the erection of a single storey extension to the
front and side of a semi-detached dwelling house at 51 Quarry Road in Irvine. 
The proposed extension would project from the front of the house by 4 metres on
plan and from the side of the house by 3.363 metres, with a total width of 9.238
metres. It would provide a new family room area, hallway with cupboard, and master
bedroom with ensuite. The extension would have a hipped roof design, with gable
ends to the rear and side. It would have a height of approx. 4.14 metres to the roof
ridge and approx. 3.16 metres hight to the eaves. There would be a front entrance
door with steps leading down to the front garden area to the front elevation and an
arrangement of new window openings including rooflights to both the front and rear
elevations. There are no proposed openings to either side elevation. Materials would
consist of red/brown concrete interlocking tiles to the roof, a combination of dark
brown facing brick basecourse and white roughcast to the external walls, double
glazed UPVC framed windows, and UPVC soffits, fascia, and bargeboards. 
The application site consists of a two-storey semi-detached dwellinghouse with
garden ground to the front and rear of the house, including off-street parking. The
existing site boundary treatments consist of an approx. 1.8-metre-high timber fence
to the rear garden area and an approx. 1-metre-high brick wall to the front. There is
a detached garage within the rear garden area.
16

Page 17

22/00987/PP 
The application site is located within the General Urban Area within the settlement
boundary of Irvine as identified in the Adopted Local Development Plan (LDP).
Therefore, the Towns and Villages Objective of Strategic Policy 1 (Spatial Strategy)
applies. All applications for planning permission require to be considered in
accordance with Strategic Policy 2 (Placemaking). 
Consultations and Representations 
Neighbour notification was conducted for this application in accordance with
statutory procedures. No representations were received in response to the
application. No consultations required to be undertaken. 
Analysis 
The erection of an extension to a domestic dwellinghouse does not raise any land
use policy implications and would be acceptable in principle in terms of the Towns
and Villages Objective of Strategic Policy 1 (Spatial Strategy). The application
therefore needs to be considered in terms of 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." 
Located to the front and side of the house, the proposed extension would be readily
visible from public viewpoints on Quarry Road and the surrounding area. It is
considered that the proposed external material finishes would be appropriate and
would reflect the existing finishes to both the main dwellinghouse and neighbouring
houses. However, while there is no clearly established building line along Quarry
Road, it is considered that the proposed projection distance of 4 metres from the
front of the house is excessive and would have an adverse visual impact on the
amenity of the surrounding area. It is also considered that this excessive projection
distance would have an adverse impact on the light levels to the ground floor
openings of the adjoining house at 49 Quarry Road. 
The proposed openings would primarily face onto the applicant's own garden
ground, onto the public road, or would be located on the roof. Therefore, there would
not be any privacy or overlooking impacts to neighbouring residents. 
The applicant/agent was advised that the siting and design of proposed extension
was not considered appropriate and that an alternative proposal consisting of an
extension to the side and/or rear of the house would be more suitable. A small front
porch extension would also be considered appropriate and could be integrated with
a side extension. However, it is not considered that any other development to the
front of the house would be suitable in this case. The applicant/agent was asked to
withdraw the current application and re-submit with a revised design in line with the
above observations. However, no confirmation of withdrawal was received. 
The applicant/agent suggested bringing the footprint of the front extension in from
the neighbouring boundary with 49 Quarry Road by 1 metre and forming a hipped
roof edge in this location. While this would partially mitigate the concern regarding
the light impact of the proposal to the neighbouring house, it would not be adequate
in terms of alleviating the visual impact on the streetscape and the amenity of the
surrounding area.
17

Page 18

22/00987/PP 
The application has also been assessed against the adopted National Planning
Framework 4 (NPF4). It is not considered that the proposal raises any significant
strategic planning issues. However, in line with above observations, it is considered
that the proposal does not meet the relevant 'Six Qualities of Successful Places'
identified in Annex D. It is considered that the excessive scale of the proposed
extension to the front of the house would be contrary to quality 2 (Pleasant:
Supporting attractive natural and built spaces) and quality 4 (Distinctive: Supporting
attention to detail of local architectural styles and natural landscapes to be
interpreted into designs to reinforce identity). 
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.
