Summary
The proposed development will be a distinctive and attractive tourist destination consisting of 26 holiday lodges and a facilities building
Description
The subjects comprise an irregular shaped land parcel about 50.14 acres (20.29 Ha) in area. Vehicular access is available from a minor access road off Boig Road at the east edge of the site. The north site periphery is marked by a post and wire fence and treeline edge. The north east margin of the site is defined by the edge of Boig Road. The south boundary of the site is not physically defined and the south west margin is broadly marked by the line of overhead electricity cables and timber pylons.
The topography of the site is generally characterised by a variable slope down to the south and south east. A tarmac access road traverses the south edge of the site with sloping rough grass along the south and south east edge of the road. The remainder of the site comprises farmland and a plantation consisting of densely planted young willow trees. The site is elevated above the River Nith.
A long term masterplan has been created which shows how the entire land parcel can be developed as tourist accommodation over 6 phases. Planning permission has been obtained for the first phase.
Location
The Willows is located approximately 2.5km west of New Cumnock and is an irregular shaped land parcel with a linear boundary to the east provided by Boig Road and farmland to the north and west. The River Nith runs immediately along the southern boundary. Agricultural fields surround the site. New Cumnock rail station takes less than 5 minutes drive to reach via Leggate (B741).

The accommodation comprises the following areas:
Development
The site for the first phase extends to an approximate area of 4.90 acres (1.98 Ha) and has a gradient sloping south eastwards towards River Nith.
The proposed development will be a distinctive and attractive tourist destination consisting of 26 holiday lodges and a facilities management building. Lodges will be positioned to take into account the existing topography and opportunity of vistas. There are six Local Nature Conservation Sites (LNCS) found within 2km of the site boundary which include Nith Bridge, New Cumnock Wetlands and Knockinnoch Lagoons.
East Ayrshire has witnessed a significant rise in demand for holiday lets in the past 12 months, with various developments reporting good sales rates. This development will provide an attractive site for holiday accommodation on a well- appointed piece of land, to provide a sustainable business opportunity with long term potential.
