Changes to plans for 49 new homes in Troon will be considered by councillors next week.The proposal by Lynch Homes features 42 two storey detached houses, with a small number of bungalows, and will be considered by South Ayrshire Council's regulatory panel on Thursday, February 2.The report on the proposal states: "The landscaping proposals include landscaping on the southern side of the Barassie Burn to form a riparian (riverside) biodiversity corridor and footpath connections to the A759 to the north and south of the site."The application deals with just part of the wider Northeast Troon site.

This development was granted planning permission in principle for 680 homes in 2012 and is being developed by Lynch Homes and Taylor Wimpey.That original outline permission was followed up by an application for 290 homes for the southern half of the site in 2017.

This included 49 homes on the site being considered next week.A further amendment in 2020 added another 20 market homes and 52 affordable homes.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now on iOS and Android.The latest application seeks to amend the proposal for the 49 homes, including changing some house types and redrawing individual property boundaries.It does not propose any alterations to the landscaping, roads or footpaths.The report adds: "The proposal does not raise any issues regarding privacy, residential amenity or road safety."Ho
