Knockroon is a planned development to be located between the towns of Cumnock and Auchinleck in East Ayrshire, Scotland. East Ayrshire Council granted outline planning permission for 770 houses on 7 December 2009.[1] The development of Knockroon is expected to continue over a 25-year period, and is backed by The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment,[2] and is being designed on green principles. The development will be built by Hope Homes Scotland and ZeroC.[3] Prince Charles has expressed a personal interest in the development.[4] Construction started in April 2011.
