Public meeting on 60-bed care home plan on site of hotel destroyed in fire
Plans to build a 60-bed care home on the site where fire destroyed a historic Fife hotel go in front of local residents this week.
Morrison Community Care Group (MCCG) wants to build on the land that was once the Lundin Links Hotel.
It has submitted an EIA Screening Request with Fife Council - it seeks to determine whether the proposed development needs a full environmental impact assessment.
As part of the process, MCCG is staging a public consultation in the Durham Hall, Lundin Links on Monday (June 8) from 7:00pm to 9:00pm to outline its proposals and to take questions from the public on the details of the project.
The land has sat empty since the devastating blaze in 2022. The town endured significant disruption in the aftermath of the fire - the third and most damaging since the hotel closed in 2014. Kapital Residential had planning permission to convert the 17th century, Category C-listed hotel into 35 flats, but went into liquidation with no work having started.
The building had remained boarded up and behind security fences after Fife Council intervened over safety fears.
Glasgow-based Surplus Property Investments Limited bought the site in November 2024.
The new application from MCCG said: “The proposed development comprises approximately 60 specialist care units within a purpose-built care facility. It is significantly below the relevant thresholds and is therefore not considered to constitute EIA development.”
Its application to Fife Council will considered the application in due course.
