Tell Us About Your Place
We are starting to prepare a new Local Development Plan for East Ayrshire and we want you to get involved!
From March 2025 until February 2026, an online survey ran inviting residents and communities to 'tell us about their place.' Over 300 people completed the survey online and this was supplemented by carrying out in-person surveys at a number of community events around East Ayrshire. We also visited a number of schools to get the thoughts and views of our young people.
We have now closed the survey to allow us to analyse the feedback we have received. However, if you would still like to get involved or give us your views, please get in touch with us at localdevelopmentplans@east-ayrshire.gov.uk or use the 'Ask us a question' function. We will be happy to hear from you!
Other Evidence Report engagement:
Our online tools are just one way for us to collect your views on East Ayrshire's places. There are other opportunities for you to share your thoughts with us:
- In-person engagement events: Council planning staff attended a number of local events over 2025, to gather views which will inform our LDP3 Evidence Report. A list of these events is available to view here. If you would like us to attend any of your community events or meetings, please do get in touch.
- Topic papers: We have published several topic papers on themes such as renewable energy and the historic environment and will be publishing more over the coming months. The topic papers set out the evidence that we will use as background to develop LDP3. We are inviting views and feedback on the evidence presented and whether we have missed anything.

- Local Place Plans: We are now asking communities to register their interest in preparing a Local Place Plan. Please follow the link to find out more about what LPPs are, and how they can inform our LDP3.
- Play Sufficiency Assessment: We have launched an online survey to learn more about how children and young people play in their local areas, and what people would like to see in the future. This will provide valuable evidence to inform our LDP3.
