Huge coastal site with care-home potential, subject to planning consent.
Huge waterfront development plot with west-facing Forth views
A substantial waterfront development site on the western edge of Burntisland with expansive westward views across the Firth of Forth and good commuter links to Edinburgh. The level, well-bounded plot previously benefited from planning permission in principle (expired) for an 80-bedroom care home; recent local authority conversations and reported councillor support suggest the site remains suitable for care-related development. There may also be scope for a children’s nursery or residential scheme subject to securing necessary consents.
The land is large and largely level, bounded by the railway to the north, open space to the south and a sea wall to the west. Access is via Haugh Road and a private track with a reserved right of access. Service-infrastructure location plans and historic planning documents are available in a data room to aid appraisal, but buyers should confirm current utilities and connection costs.
Important considerations: the previous planning permission has lapsed and any purchase is likely to be conditional on obtaining fresh planning consent. The wider area records high deprivation, which will influence scheme mix and funding; tenure is unknown. The site is open for viewing but buyers must respect neighbouring properties, biosecurity and any livestock. Offers are expected to include a non-refundable deposit on missives, and purchasers will be responsible for standard transaction taxes and registration fees.
