Plans to expand South Ayrshire Council’s Additional Support Needs (ASN) provision have been approved.A planning application was previously submitted, seeking permission for listed building consent in order to re-configure two rooms within Troon Primary School and transform the space into a new ASN base.Ayrshire Live first revealed the proposals back in September.

Planning consent has now been agreed.According to the application, the plan was to “amend” the existing layout of two rooms on the ground floor to form ASN base classrooms with associated quiet rooms, sensory room, accessible change facility and staff WC.Refurbishment and decoration works are also planned for the upper rooms within the school.In a supporting statement, the alterations were required to create “secure and safe teaching spaces for pupils with additional support needs.”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.As part of the works, security fencing will be erected to create a secure play area within the playground which the ASN pupils can safely use.Along with these proposed works, the opportunity will be taken to “amend existing spaces” to refurbish and decorate other rooms at the same time.One proposal was to alter the position of the reception desk point.The existing reception desk is located facing into the Main Hall of the school.
