Planning Obligations
Planning Obligations guidance seeks to ensure that new development addresses any impacts it creates on roads, schools and community facilities. It assists the development industry to better understand the costs and requirements that will be sought by Fife Council and provides certainty to communities and public bodies that new development will have no negative impact.
Houses in Multiple Occupation
Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) on Multiple Occupation (HMOs) was adopted in June 2011. It applies to the Central St Andrews Conservation Area. This guidance is being reviewed, and once adopted will form part of the Development Plan for Fife.
