Milestone Developments have acquired a large field at Tunnoch Farm, Maybole, where they plan to build 124 houses. The site will include a SUDS pond. Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems are designed to control the run-off of rainwater, protect the water quality, provide an amenity for residents and promote biodiversity of water life. 124 houses certainly will produce a lot of surface water compared with the existing field. Water leaves the site via the burn that runs alongside the Crosshill-Maybole road before crossing to the cemetery side, eventually joining the Water of Girvan at Baird’s Mill. Apparently the plan is to fill in the existing boggy ground, shown here beside the site board, and to leave the area as open space.
