What is a Community Action Plan?

Community Action Plans are integral to Community Planning in East Ayrshire. These are clearly linked with our Community Planning arrangements, giving local people and organisations a real voice and the ability to influence the decisions which have an impact on our own communities.

Working with Vibrant Communities

So far our Vibrant Communities teams have helped in the formation of 24 Community Action Plans, together with another six partner plans which have also been launched across East Ayrshire.The decision about whether to develop a Community Action plan is entirely voluntary and rests with communities themselves. Vibrant Communities has given a commitment to support any community which wants to develop a plan.

We support local communities through a process which empowers and builds the capacity of local people and facilitates the development of a five year Community Action Plan.

  • East Ayrshire Local Place Plans - Crosshouse & surrounding settlements (republished)

    Local communities within East Ayrshire have taken into consideration the contents of the East Ayrshire Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) and National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) (and local Community Action Plans) to draft a Local Place Plan for their Community Council area.

    Where possible the Local Place Plan engagement process was aligned with the Community Action Plan process. Surveys from at least 40% of local households (20% in urban areas of Kilmarnock) were returned and spatial information was plotted onto a draft Local Place Plan map. This was checked at local engagement sessions, school sessions and replicated online. The community body then redrafted the Local Place Plan with the information supplied. The finalised version of the plan is made available online for comment for a further 4 weeks with final amendments made before submission to the Planning Authority.

    Please find the linked draft Local Place Plans and supporting documents for your consideration as a local or neighbouring stakeholder, as defined in the Local Place Plan guidance. 

    The opportunity for comments will close on Tuesday 1st September 2026.
