Strategic Land
Scope for mainstream housing
The 4.6 acres lies right into the north edge of Burntisland. The land to the east has been developed. The disused distillery land to the south west has been zoned for housing. The Meadowend farm to the west of that has been developed. The land is just outside of the Development Plan, but as The Fife Local Plan is due to be reviewed soon it could be put forward for a caravan site or mainstream housing.

The land to the north of the site for sale is too steep to develop and is covered in trees and bushes so it is a defendable boundary which will never be developed. A housing company could purchase an option to secure planning consent for housing on the land for sale e.g. pay 50,000 for a ten year option.

Burntisland is a perfect place for a holiday let air B & B tourism destination. The sites for sale have excellent pedestrian connectivity to plenty of bars and services within the village.

There are golf courses at Kinghorn (2.7m), Aberdour (3m), Dunfermline (11m), Leven, Ellie and the 7 courses near
St. Andrews. There is a main line railway station with excellent connections to Kirkcaldy Edinburgh and excellent road links. There are great beaches at Burntisland (1m), Kinghorn (3m), Aberdour and Leven and the East Neuk is within easy driving distance. Dunnikier, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline have multiplex theatres bowling and excellent sporting facilities.

Caravan Parks are as follows:
•St Andrews Holiday Park (1m south-east of St. Andrews).
•Cairnsmill Caravan Park (1m south-west of St. Andrews).
•Stewarts Caravan Park (5m south of St. Andrews).
•Pettycur Bay (2m west of Burntisland).
•Sandhills Caravan Park (Kinghorn).
•Kinghorn Harbour Caravan Park.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
