PLANS to transform a vacant gap site in Kirkcaldy are set to move forward after councillors went against the planning authority’s recommendation, and gave it the go-ahead.The £2.5 million plans from Castlecreoft and Stephens the Bakers will transform an empty site in Kirkcaldy into a bakery shop, business units and storage facilities.The Hendry Road and Hayfield Industrial Estate site has been vacant for two decades, and developers have said the plans could create up to 100 jobs.
“It’s accepted that the development would bring benefits in terms of re-use of vacant land as well as employment and training opportunities, but they don’t outweigh the conflict with the development plan.”“I think this is quite finely balanced and I could go either way on this one,” he said. “It’s contrary in terms of one of the uses, but it’s a small proportion of the overall application.
He added: “Those who proposed the Morrisons said there would be no impact on town centre and that clearly didn’t work out.”
