One of the of the promises we made to our communities as part
of the Constitutional Partnership with Riverside was the guarantee
that we would demolish the Pennyburn Flats, Kilwinning and
regenerate the area with new build housing and environmental
improvements.
The 48 flats in Glenapp Place and Sundrum Place are to be
replaced with approximately 22 two and three-bed houses on the
existing footprint of the flats and car park area to the front.
A Steering Group of local tenants and residents has been set up
to advise us on the best options for the community and the issues
that
are important locally. We held an initial consultation
event in October 2011. A further planning consultation event was
held in April 2012.
All tenants from the flats have now
been rehoused. Planning permission was submitted in October 2012.
Demolition works are expected to start in late spring/early summer
2013 and it is hoped that the new homes will be completed by late
summer 2014.
