Annex 4. Strategic Environmental Assessment Environmental Report - Version 1 FIFEplan Main Issues Report Document Potential Development Options – Volume 3 Lochgelly to Wormit (includes Landward Area at end) January 2013 DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS All potential development sites, submitted by the end of the call for sites period (6th April 2012), and other sites that we considered could have development potential are listed in this document. The number of development options submitted far exceeded the number required for the FIFEplan. We have carried out an initial site assessment of all the sites and highlighted any that we thought should not be assessed further. The reasons for this are noted on the individual site forms. Further investigation and assessment will be carried out before sites are identified for inclusion in the FIFEplan. All sites listed in this document are included for information only as supporting information for the Environmental Report version 1. There is an opportunity to comment on the sites through the FIFEplan consultation running 14th January – 10th March 2013. The sites are listed by settlement in alphabetical order. Those sites that are not located close to a settlement are included in the Landward section. No potential development sites were submitted to Fife Council for the following settlements and so these settlements have not been included in this document: Anstruther & Cellardyke Cupar Muir Lundin Links Arncroach Dunshalt Luthrie Auchtertool East Wemyss Methil Baintown Fordell Methilhill Ballingry Foodieash Mossgreen Balmalcolm Gateside Mount Melville Balmerino Grange of Lindores Newport on Tay Blebo Craigs Guardbridge New Gilston Boarhills Halbeath New Row Bonnybank High Valleyfield North Queensferry Buckhaven Kettlebridge & Kingskettle Pattiesmuir Chance Inn Kilconquhar & Barnyards Pitlessie Cluny Kilmany St Monans Coaltown of Wemyss Kilrenny Stratheden Colinsburgh Kincardine Strathmiglo Collessie Kinghorn Steelend Comrie Kirkton of Balmerino Tulliallan Craigrothie Letham Upper Largo Crombie Lochore West Wemyss Crosshill Lower Largo Culross Low Valleyfield FIFEplan Development Options January 2013 Lochgelly LDP-LGY001 Land on the south side of Lochgelly LDP-LGY002 Cemetery Field It is important to note that the number of sites included in this document far exceeds the number required in the Local Development Plan. These sites have no planning status. They have been included simply to highlight the options available and reflect all the sites submitted by the close of the Initial Call for Sites consultation (April 2012).
