Fife hotel turns storage container into new dining area

The Sands Hotel in Burntisland got formal planning permission this week after buying the unit to turn it into an eating area as it adapts to operating post COVID.

Supporting documents show the hotel on Lochies Road bought the storage container shortly before the company selling them closed down.

The Sands sees the extra covered space for diners as “a good addition”, and the plan also includes the installation of artificial grass to complete the area.

Councillors approved the application, with some conditions.
