Description
Situation
The proposed building plots are situated on the south eastern side of the square in the conservation village of Letham on the northern edge of Fife’s fertile agricultural plain which is known as the Howe of Fife. The village is on a bus route and has a primary school. Letham has a lovely quaint feel with many delightful old buildings and lots of open space including a children’s play area. Additional local facilities and services are on hand in the villages of Ladybank and Auchtermuchty with a wider offering in the bustling local county market town of Cupar where there is an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants as well as a thriving monthly farmers’ market. Going further afield accessibility to the cities from Letham is excellent with Dundee, Perth and Edinburgh all within comfortable driving distance. The main motorway network is easily accessed via the M90 at Milnathort or Bridge of Earn with the centre of Edinburgh approximately forty five minutes by road. There are railway stations in Ladybank, Cupar, Markinch and Leuchars with Edinburgh’s busy international airport also well within striking distance. The ancient and historic town of St. Andrews with its renowned golf links and famous university is about fifteen miles to the east.
The glorious countryside which surrounds Letham is home to an array of wildlife and for the outdoor enthusiast offers easy access to a wide range of recreational pursuits including walking, cycling, riding and golf with many highly regarded courses within easy reach including Ladybank, Scotscraig, Lundin Links, Elie and the many fine courses in and around St. Andrews where the Old Course plays regular host to The Open – the next visit being July 2027. Shooting and fishing may be taken locally and there are some fine pheasant shoots nearby. In terms of days out there are several popular National Trust for Scotland properties in the area including Falkland Palace, Kellie Castle and Hill of Tarvit at Cupar. There are lovely sandy beaches at St. Andrews, Elie and Tentsmuir with the pretty East Neuk fishing villages such as Anstruther, St. Monans and Pittenweem on hand for day trips. The wide open spaces of the Lomond Hills are close at hand. Letham is home to the famous Secret Garden outdoor children’s nursery and has a local primary school, with state secondary schooling available at Bell Baxter in Cupar. Independent schooling is available nearby at a number of highly rated schools including St. Leonards in St. Andrews and the High School of Dundee.
Description
Planning permission was granted by Fife Council on 13 March 2025 and allows for the construction on two dwelling houses, each offering accommodation over two levels, which in brief would comprise an open-plan kitchen/reception room, bedroom with en suite shower room and shower room on the ground floor. On the first floor would be two bedrooms served by a shower room. The associated plans, decision notice and conditions can be seen in more detail by looking at the Fife Council planning portal (ref 24/02529/FULL). NB Part of the conditions associated with the planning permissions requires the demolition of two delipidated outbuildings and the construction of a new access road to access the proposed houses.
