PLANS to demolish storm-damaged buildings in Stewarton have been approved by East Ayrshire Council.

The proposal, from Michael Goldie of MG Architectural Services on behalf of A J Craig, involves the removal of storm-damaged buildings and the construction of a new agricultural shed at Low Byrahill Farm.

The new steel-framed building, following the council's approval on April 21, will be built on the current site of the damaged structures and will measure 24.3m by 18.3m, with a height of 8.1m at its peak.

It will offer 467 square metres of floor space, which will mainly be used for secure storage and as a farm workshop.

Materials for the new shed include a concrete base, green steel cladding, and grey roof sheets.

The building’s design incorporates two large door openings on the east side, with the remainder open.

The Report of Handling for the proposal advised approval with certain conditions, as it had received no objections.

The relevant council policies were considered, and the proposal is expected to contribute to the local rural economy.

The work on this new development will have to begin within three years of the planning permission date.

To view the application in full, you can go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under the reference 26/0059/PP.
