JMP Designs Road And Drainage İnfrastructure For Sustainable Development in Ayrshire

Joint developers Hopes Homes (Scotland) and Zero C Holdings have appointed JMP to the groundbreaking Knockroon development on the Dumfries Estate near Cumnock where planning permission for the first phase has now been granted by East Ayrshire Council.

In the first phase will be 87 homes, 12 work units, four commercial buildings and a local shop. The 28.18ha development, with its open spaces and network of footpaths, will eventually accommodate around 600 homes, together with shops, workplaces and other community facilities on 19.67ha of the site.

JMP is carrying out detailed design of road and drainage infrastructure for a “walkable neighbourhood” development in Ayrshire being undertaken by The Prince of Wales.

The pioneering project is being taken forward by a subsidiary of the Prince’s Charities Foundation, working with Hope Homes and Zero C, and will be a leading example of sustainable development, as well as acting as a catalyst for The Prince’s vision for heritage-led regeneration in the area

The Masterplan for the site was drawn up by the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment after extensive community consultation and follows the principles used by The Prince of Wales for his successful development at Poundbury in Dorset.
