Planning committee

Decided by Fife Planning Committee; West and Central Area Planning Committee; North East Planning Committee on 19 Aug 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the small tourism use could be accommodated without unacceptable effects, subject to conditions.
  • Residents and the community council raised concerns about access, road safety, amenity, drainage, trees, wildlife and the application information.
  • The committee voted eight to four to refuse the application because access and road conditions would harm road-user safety.
