Holiday let plan for physio studio in north-east Fife town
A new holiday let could be created in a studio if councillors give the green light.
The Guardbridge premises are the subject of a change of use application to Fife Council.
It has been submitted by St Andrews based Lawson Property Group. It wants approval to create the short term holiday let in the existing physiotherapy studio at 7A Main Street Guardbridge.
The proposed accommodation would consist of a a one-bed apartment with an open plan kitchen and living area. No extensions or external alterations are planned, and the existing character and appearance of the property will remain unchanged.
A supporting statement said: “Despite active marketing, the applicant has experienced prolonged difficulties in securing a viable commercial tenant, indicating limited market demand for the premises in its current form.
“The proposal will bring the unit back into productive use, preventing long-term vacancy and contributing positively to the vitality and appearance of the local area.
“The short-term let will be professionally managed by the owner of the adjoining commercial unit, ensuring that bookings, maintenance, guest management and compliance with licensing requirements are undertaken locally and effectively. This arrangement provides confidence that the accommodation will be well managed and integrated within the existing commercial setting.” Councillors will consider the application in due course.
