Rosyth developers call for support of waterfront proposals

1 April

A group looking to create a £500 million redevelopment Rosyth Waterfront, which it hopes will create 3500 jobs, is calling on the public and local representatives to back their plans.

Consultation on the plans ends on Monday 19th April, and developers the Scarborough Muir Group (SMG) are planning public exhibitions in the town to detail their vision for the 200 acre site.

They aim to use the site, which includes derelict and contaminated industrial land, to be used for offices, hotels, leisure, business, fast food chains, retail and a community woodland.

The proposal also includes reinstating public access to the waterfront area.

Fife Council's planning committee last year refused a request to re-zone the land for 'mixed use' and stated that it must be for 'port and industrial use only', and were concerned that a change would jeopardise the development of Rosyth as an international port.

Consultation on the Draft Dunfermline and West Fife Local Plan ends on Monday 19th April, and will map out where development should take place in the area over the next decade - SMG need it to be changed to incorporate their proposal.

You can read more on this story here on the Dunfermline Press website.

Margaret Merritt says

I think this is a great opportunity for Rosyth and will provide not only economic advantages for years to come but jobs and facilities that the people of Rosyth can enjoy - we all need to support this proposal - its an oportunity that will not come our way again so we must make sure that it goes ahead by lobbying our local councillors and getting them to support us - Margaret Merritt
