Fife Council has formally adopted its new Local Development Plan after Scottish Ministers asked for two modifications to be made.

The FIFEplan now forms part of Fife's Development Plan and replaces previous local plans.

Cllr Altany Craik said: "This is the last step in producing Fife's first Local Development Plan and I acknowledge the involvement of all those who took part in its preparation, particularly the communities and individuals who got involved."

Bill Lindsay, Development Plan Service Manager, added: "The plan sets out the planning policies and proposals for the development and use of land across the Kingdom.  Our focus now moves to working with the development sector, communities and other stakeholders to deliver the plan's proposals for strategic development, supporting new housing development and the infrastructure for growth."
