• Planning application is live for review and comment

  Time: 10.30 | Date: 20-02-23

  Network Rail has submitted an application with South Ayrshire Council for Listed Buildings consent to redevelop Troon station.
  

  Since the fire which destroyed the station’s platform one building in July 2021, Network Rail has been working alongside partners, stakeholders and the community to develop the design.

  The proposal being taken forward was informed by feedback from the community following the presentation of three options at a drop-in back in August 2022. The clear favourite of local people uses the existing footprint and same aesthetic as the existing building including traditional timber façade and slate grey roof.

  

  The internal layout sees upgraded ticket/staff facilities, a retail space, a storage area for local community groups, two fully accessible toilets and a space to install a Changing Places toilet - what will be the first in Scotland out-with a large city station.

  The new station will be a modern, fit-for-purpose space for customers and staff with step free access provided to all areas of the building to enhance the passenger experience. It will also boast new double-glazed windows in traditional wooden frames while the new platform canopies will be formed by a polycarbonate roof-lighting system in a traditional style.

  You can find further detail on the application and make comment by visiting the Council’s planning portal using the reference 23/00114/LBC to search for the specific documents.

  Alternatively, you can click the link here to access the planning application.

  

  The project team is working towards completing the construction of the station building in time for The Open golf in Troon in July 2024.

  Presenting three concepts for the new station building enabled the local people to view options which ranged from a like-for-like replacement to a modern interpretation. And they certainly sparked some interesting questions and conversations around what the local people want from their station.

  The options are now live on the web page and people can offer their views on the external design and the internal options for the new station building via the web contact submission page and through the channels below.
