Land at Nydie Mains Road Strathkinness, Fife 4 DESCRIPTION The land for sale is located to the west of Strathkinness and extends to an approximate area of 6.5 acres (2.6 ha). The development opportunity has a well-positioned edge of village location with open countryside views. The ‘housing area’ is broadly square with a road corridor running from the north east of this main element of the site to the vehicular access from Nydie Mains Road. Adjacent land to the north of the ‘housing area’ area (south of Nydie Mains Road) is under the ownership of the vendor and within the Planning Permission in Principle boundary. Given housing unit number restrictions this adjacent land area is not for sale but development proposals will ensure that this area can be developed for further housing at a later date. To the north of the site is the vendor’s retained land, Nydie Mains Road, then arable agricultural fields. To the west of the site are agricultural fields in arable and rough pasture with a private track running adjacent to the site boundary. To the south of the site is Bonfield Road then garden ground / woodland with residential properties to the south east and west. To the east of the site is a play park / sports field. The vehicular entrance is to be taken from Nydie Mains Road to the north. Land to the north of the main ‘housing area’ is under the ownership of the vendor and the road corridor indicated is indicative subject to full specifications being agreed with the vendor.

Land at Nydie Mains Road Strathkinness, Fife 5 PLANNING The site for sale is part of land covered by the following Planning Permission in Principle. The remaining part of the land subject to this planning permission, to the north of the site for sale, will be retained by the vendor. Reference: 15/04130/PPP Proposal: Proposed residential development, including affordable housing with associated landscaping, access and associated engineering and infrastructure works. Decision: Granted, subject to Section 75 Agreement Comment: The PPP allows for the erection of 50 homes (comprising 35 market and 15 affordable units) subject to ‘detailed’ planning permission being achieved. While the initial planning submissions relate to a wider site area (including land to the north), the number of homes was subsequently limited to 50 and these units are to be delivered within the revised site, as outlined. The land for sale therefore excludes the area to the north of the subject site despite its inclusion within the site boundary of the original application. The Planning Permission in Principle is subject to conditions. In addition, a Section 75 Agreement has been agreed with Fife Council and will be concluded contractually upon sale of the subject site. The Section 75 Agreement sets out planning gain requirements for affordable housing provision (30% / 15 units) and off-site open space / play provision contributions. For full details / documentation please contact the selling agents. The site is allocated within FIFEplan (Fife’s Local Development Plan, adopted 2017) as Housing Site ‘Bonfield Road, Strathkinness’ (STK 003) with an approximate site capacity of around 50 units. There are no listed buildings within the subject site and the site is not within a Conservation Area.
