Scotsman Developments have unveiled their proposals for a new mixed-use development at the former Madras College campus on Kilrymont Road, St Andrews.

Proposals include new housing (including 30% affordable homes) and the retention and re-use of existing listed school buildings for mixed-uses comprising residential, local retail and leisure.

As part of Fife Council's Building Fife's Future programme, a new £55 million state-of-the-art purpose-built Madras College building has been completed on a site at Langlands. In conjunction with this the College's Kilrymont site was marketed for sale by Fife Council for development purposes.

Madras College's South Street site was acquired by the University of St Andrews as part of the deal for the new school.

As a major planning application, a Proposal of Application Notice (noting intent to submit a planning application following a minimum 12-weeks of community consultation) was submitted to Fife Council in July.

The public will now have the chance to view proposals, ask questions and provide feedback at the first of two web-based community consultation events, adhering to Scottish Government Covid-19 guidance on consultations.

Commenting on the upcoming consultation David Scanlon from Scotsman Developments Ltd said: "We're delighted to be giving the public the chance to shape our proposals for this exciting mixed-use development at the former Kilrymont campus.

"Our scheme will serve to regenerate the current brownfield site, retaining and re-using the existing listed school buildings, something I am aware will be greatly welcomed by the local community.

"Development will deliver much-needed housing, including affordable homes, local retail and leisure uses.

"I would encourage as many of those who are able to take advantage of this opportunity, ask any questions they might have and provide feedback."
