Retirement village planned at old Fife sawmill

Retirement village planned at old Fife sawmill

A former sawmill on the edge of a Fife village could be transformed into a retirement village.

Developer Atmore Easy Living Development (AELD) Ltd has outlined plans to build 42 lodges at Cupar Muir, two miles outside Cupar.

They have lodged a screening option request with Fife Council for the area, which has also been used as a quarry and a landfill site.

Developers say the six-acre site was historically earmarked by the council for up to 40 houses.

The proposal includes two and three-bedroom lodges. It is likely to have one point of access with the lodges arranged in a loop.

The council will look at the request before deciding if the proposals need a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
