Local objectors look to have put paid to hopes of building a caravan park at an Ayrshire beauty spot.
According to the Ayrshire Post, plans to create space for 93 static caravans and 49 tourers have generated 432 letters of complaint to the local authority.
The decision will now be passed from South Ayrshire Council’s regulatory panel to the full council because of the level of objection.
The large facility would stretch along more than a kilometre of coastal road and locals feel that the natural beauty of the area would be compromised.
However, Mark White – the man behind the plans – has promised to plant a screen of trees and create a pond to help enhance the scenery.
Local MSP John Scott is against the plans and said that although tourism would receive a boost, the site would have a “detrimental impact” by obstructing locals’ views of the Carrick Hills.
Popular attractions in Ayrshire include the former home of Scottish poet Rabbie Burns, as well as ferry rides to the numerous islands off the coast.
