Auchenhowie.

Interesting about Auchenhowie area, but kept quiet. How it would affect Murray Park I have no idea, appears to be a contemporary of Murray, Stewart Milne.

 

The appeal proposal comprises approximately 550 houses; office/business

development and sports facilities in the form of a replacement for the Allander Sports

Centre on the former bus garage site; and land for a rail halt and park-and-ride facilities on

part of the existing Allander site. An Environmental Statement (ES) for the scheme was

submitted to EDC in July 2006. The indicative masterplan (C1), on which the ES was

based, also shows the garage and car showroom, the Homebase store, the timber yard,

and most of the existing development at Lower Kilmardinny, retained. The appellants had

originally intended to include new facilities for WoSFC in their development, but

subsequently made a separate outline application to develop facilities at Auchenhowie, east

of Kilmardinny, instead.

ETA Auchenhowie is on a flood plain.

That development is on the other side of the Douglas Park Golf Club (coincidental name) so doesn't include Murray Park in it.

 

Auchenhowie is green belt land but it would not be the first time a council has sanctioned plans for developments in such areas.

 

I'm not sure any such (reasonably small-scale) development of Murray Park would be the sole cause for Ellis' interest in any case.

The old Alexander's bus garage has been looked at time and time again but nothing happens because the land is effectively contaminated. Douglas Park golf course and the Allander burn lie between this site and Murray park.

I know we are across the other side of the rail line, but the side that the plans were submitted for, Homebase side, could not possibly contain the proposed development of that size. I also read a while ago that the insurance companies will not insure anything on a known flood plain.
