1. Pipeland
August 2014
A Petition for a Judicial Review was
lodged in the Court of Session in Edinburgh of Fife Council's
decision to grant Planning Permission in Principle to build a new
school at Pipeland Farm.
This proposal was recommended for refusal by North East Fife
Planning Committee. This recommendation was rejected by the
full Fife Council.
The proposal is significantly contrary to Fife Council's own
development plan and requires building on recently established
Green Belt.
The Association supports the building of a new school. However, it
has serious concerns about the environmental impact of building the
new school at Pipeland Farm.
| UPDATE 20 March 2015 |
Lord Doherty
repels the petition. Further information
here.
|
|
|
| UPDATE 18 June 2015 |
Lord Drummond Young grants STEPAL's motion limiting
its liability for Fife Council's and Hermiston Securities'
costs in the event of an unsuccessful outcome. Further
information here.
|
|
UPDATE 18 March
2016 |
Lord Malcolm, Lady Clark of Calton and Lord Drummond
Young find in favour
of the reclaiming motion by STEPAL. Further information can
be viewed here.

2. West
Sands
September 2014
An objection was lodged to the proposal for a visitor
centre at the West Sands, St Andrews.
The proposal was in recently designated Green Belt, in an area of
great natural beauty. It would be highly visible from many
parts of the town and have a detrimental effect on the visual
environment.
The proposed building would have a disproportionate impact on the
area.
| UPDATE 19 February 2015 |
Dismissal of the appeal to the Scottish Government by the
applicant against the refusal by Fife Council to grant
planning permission.

Feddinch
August 2015
An objection was lodged to two applications modifying the
planning conditions for the developments at Feddinch.
March 2016
An objection was lodged to the Full Planning Application
for a golf club and additional services.
| UPDATE 18 April 2016 |
Fife Council Deemed the application to be refused. In the
interests of protecting the wider landscape and agricultural
character of this steading grouping within this countryside
and Green Belt location to the south of St Andrews. At the
present time there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate
that the incomplete golf course adjacent to the site will
progress to a playable condition and therefore there is no
justification for a new club house facility, with letting
rooms and associated bars and restaurants. Commencement of a
development at this location without sufficient justification
would result in the introduction of a significant building
replacing a traditional vernacular steading grouping that
would not comply with the terms of the Scottish Planning
Policy 2014; policies E15 and E17 of the Adopted St Andrews
and East Fife Local Plan 2012 and Policies 1, 7 and 9 of the
Proposed FIFEplan (Local Development Plan) 2014.

New
Park School Playing Fields

Objection was made to an application for Planning
Permission in Principle for residential dwellings, open space and
associated works at the former playing fields of New Park School,
Priory Gardens, St Andrews.
| UPDATE 16 May 2016 |
Fife Council refuses the application as contrary to the
Adopted St Andrews and East Fife Local Plan 2012 as Protected
Open Space and also contrary to Policy 13 of the Proposed
FIFEplan due to the avoidable loss of identified Green
Network and Greenspaces as existing natural environment
assets.
