A £60 million plan to create a new waterfront for Irvine has been submitted to North Ayrshire Council.
Urban Splash are seeking planning permission for their multi-million pound plans to regenerate the 12-acre site at Irvine Harbour and create a mixed-use scheme.
The company was selected by Irvine Bay Regeneration Company as its development partner for the flagship project.
If successful, the development would see the creation of 360 new homes, 30,000 sq ft of cafes, restaurants, shops and offices and a hotel.
The submission of the planning applications follows extensive and successful public consultation.
Omar Elmi, Commercial Director at Irvine Bay Regeneration Company, said: "The transformation of Irvine Harbour and the creation of a vibrant place with stunning views and a wonderful location is a key part of our plans for the area.
"Our remit is to work with our partners to create successful, sustainable communities and we believe this proposal will go some way to doing that."
Patrick Sheridan of Urban Splash commented: "The development will create a fantastic place for people to live, and also as a place for people to enjoy leisure time, to work, and to visit.
"If our application is successful, the development will be phased over ten years."
The site will be the first Urban Splash has worked on in Scotland, but the company has received plaudits for the work it has carried out down south – in particular in the north west.
