Network licence Condition 17 (land disposal): Coal Road, Auchinleck, East
Ayrshire
Decision
1. On 23 June 2020, Network Rail gave notice of its intention to dispose of land at
Coal Road, Auchinleck, East Ayrshire (“the land”), in accordance with Condition 17
of its network licence. The land is described in more detail in the notice (copy
attached).
2. We have considered the information supplied by Network Rail including the
responses received from third parties consulted. For the purposes of Condition 17 of
Network Rail’s network licence, ORR consents to the disposal of the land in
accordance with the particulars set out in its notice.
Reasons for decision
3. We are satisfied that Network Rail has consulted relevant stakeholders with
current information and no objections were received.
4. In considering the proposed disposal, we note that:
there is no evidence that railway operations would be affected adversely;
Network Rail completed the process to remove the land from the strategic
freight site list in 2018; and
no other reasonably foreseeable railway use for the land was identified.
5. Based on all the evidence we have received and taking into account all the
material facts and views relevant to our consideration under Condition 17, we are
satisfied that there are no issues for us to address.
6. We have had regard to our decision criteria in Land disposal by Network Rail:
The regulatory arrangements, October 2019,
1
and balanced our section 4 duties
given to us under the Railways Act 1993. In doing so we have given particular weight

to our duty to exercise our functions in a manner which we consider best calculated

Hi
There is no objections as such but we would like to point one that it has been found that
NRs condition on vegetation can be subject to interpretation. We would like to see
something more precise to explicit say no trees within 50m of the railway and no climbing
plants.
As a general rule there is an opinion within Avanti that no railway land should be sold until
all new T&RS have a maintenance location.

First of all apologies it has taken months for me to respond to the issues that you raised.
As you can see by the attached plans, the area to be sold the majority is some distance
from the railway and the land adjacent to the railway is already owned by the purchaser.
They plan to develop this for social housing with a right of access granted to NR or
maintenance purposes and any construction requiring approval from our asset protection
team. We would not be able to impose these condition on property not in our ownership
but we can certainly express we would not like any planting so close to the line. The area
which is within the sale and is close to the track at the SUDS we can make this a condition
of the sale that no trees are planted within a reasonable distance of the track but as you
can see from the plan most of this area is not planned to be developed.
The site is a delisted freight site, most likely because it’s not suitable for railway use, with
very poor access and it’s felt should be sold and the income re-invested.
Thanks for your response and apologies for the late reply.

This section of land is subject to Property Disposal Sale by Network Rail. The site

Given that your service deals with such issues (as the Roads and Transportation service of

SUBJECT: Consultation on proposed land disposal: Coal Road, Auchinleck, East
Ayrshire
Dear Consultee
We are currently seeking views of relevant parties on our proposed land disposal
at Coal Road, Auchinleck by way of a freehold sale. We attach a draft application
form which together with the related plans, explains the proposed land disposal in
detail. Following this consultation and having considered any comments that are
received, a decision will be made whether to submit a formal application to ORR
for consent to dispose under the terms of our network licence.It is therefore
important that we have your views as to whether you believe that the proposed
disposal site has any foreseeable railway, or other public transport, use which may
lead us to consider that it is inappropriate to dispose of that site. Please be aware
that any comments relating to Station Change, Network Change or Planning
processes will be dealt with separately as part of their respective consultations.
Any application made will be based on this draft Property Disposal form and
updated in light of consultation responses. It is therefore important that we have
your views on the proposed disposal. Please could any comments be provided to
me via email by 2
nd
of March 2020. If a formal application to ORR is made, we
will, in accordance with ORR’s regulatory arrangements for land disposal, send
you notification of our application in due course. If you have any queries regarding
our proposal do not hesitate to contact me. If future consultations of the nature
should be directed elsewhere within your organisation please advise us of the
appropriate contacts details so that we may amend our records.
