Seafield Area to become ‘gateway to Kirkcaldy’
Plans have gone on display in Linktown this week to showcase how Fife Council hope to open up business and housing opportunities, and making the most of the coastal environment in the Invertiel area (immediately adjacent to Seafield Beach).
The plans so far are intended to be a framework of visions and aspirations for how the area could develop in the future.
A ‘consultation period’ began on Tuesday 1 December 2009 and will run until 29 January 2010. The public can give feedback on the plans in person at the sessions or by email at the address below.
An exhibition at the Café, West Bridge Mill, Bridge Street, Kirkcaldy will run until 29 January between 10.00am and 3.00pm. The exhibition will show a summary of the proposals set out in the Development Framework document
All comments received from the public will be assessed and reported back to the Kirkcaldy Area Committee alongside a Finalised Strategic Development Framework in the spring of 2010.

Members of SEG were in attendance at the drop-in sessions this week and we’ll be providing our own feedback to the planners.
I was pleased to find that emphasis is being placed on acknowledging the importance of the coastal environment and orienting buildings and walkways towards the sea. The shore area is a key asset of this part of the town and I hope the planning process continues to recognise the opportunity to use it to it’s best advantage without compromising it’s rare ‘wild’ character.
