Shaping Fife's Future

Councillors have identified a host of sites for new housing, business and schools across the Kingdom.

A six week consultation on FIFEplan will start on Monday 27 October until Monday 8 December.

FIFEplan, Fife's first Local Development Plan, is the blueprint for the future shape of the Kingdom including identifying sites for new housing, business and other new developments. 

There has been a wealth of work carried out and individuals and communities have already had the chance to have their say on different stages of the plan.

This new consultation gives Fifers an opportunity to comment on the Proposed FIFEplan, its policies and proposals and supplementary guidance on planning obligations and mineral development.

Depute Council Leader Councillor Lesley Laird, spokesperson for Economy and Planning said: "This is an important document for promoting Fife as a place to invest in and to protect its varied and rich natural and built heritage. Importantly, it is intended to shape the land use and planning for Fife and its communities over the next 10 years.

"We do want to encourage people to take part in the consultation and to give us their views. Even if, for example, a site has been removed, we would still ask people to provide their comments. This is an important stage to be involved and it is important that people continue to contribute."

A series of Public drop-in information events will be held throughout Fife during the consultation period.

Information will be available to view between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the venues listed below:
