Fife Council seeks suggestions for sites with development potential

Levenmouth

FIFE Council is inviting residents, businesses, and organisations to help shape the region’s future by contributing ideas and identifying sites for potential development.

The local authority is preparing for its next Local Development Plan, Fife’s Place Plan. Community councils, landowners and developers can put forward ideas or sites they would like to be considered for inclusion.

This initiative aims to gather input on how land might be used for purposes such as housing, employment, infrastructure, community spaces, and environmental projects.

Councillor Altany Craik, Fife Council’s spokesperson for finance, economy & strategic planning, said, “We look forward to receiving your ideas for Fife’s future. This consultation is an invitation for individuals, communities, landowners, developers and other organisations to share ideas, identify development opportunities, and help us address key issues like housing, infrastructure, and community use.

“The call for sites will help us to update our evidence base of potentially suitable and available land for diverse purposes. As part of our commitment towards reducing our impact on the environment, we’re also looking for suggestions about land that’s suitable for nature recovery, biodiversity or carbon offsetting.”

The portal is now open and the consultation will run until noon on February 24, 2025. For full details and to submit proposals visit www.fife.gov.uk/FPP.
