The applicant wants to create “a series of flexible open spaces suitable for hire.”
The company said it would create permanent work in north-east Fife for roles which included events organisers, caterers, cleaners and landscape maintenance.
It also proposes removing the steel shed extensions and the unoriginal, corrugated sheet metal section of roof, restoring the steading back to its original footprint.

“The proposals will enable the applicant to diversify their farming business, and allow the buildings to function as part of a source of income for the farm and provide employment locally.
“The proposals include the restoration of the existing buildings with minimal intervention, and provide a rich and welcoming building which will form the backdrop for many memorable events in years to come.”
Councillors will consider the application in due course.
