Draft South Ayrshire Local Plan

The Council published the Consultation Draft South Ayrshire Local Plan in September 1999 for public consultation and comment. A total of 1,039 written representations were received. These were considered by the Council in its preparation of this Local Plan. A brief account of the steps taken by the Council to secure publicity through publication of the Consultation Draft Local Plan and the consideration of views received is set out in the Council's "Statement on Publicity and Public Consultation" which is published separately.
