A MAJOR housing development could see 69 new homes built on a playing field north of the village of Guardbridge.

Proposals have been unveiled for 42 houses and 27 flats between Motray Park and the reservoir.

The plans are a resubmission of earlier proposals and have been submitted to Fife Council in the name of the Guardbridge Partnership, which owns the land.

A previous planning application for a development of 30 houses and 26 flats by Curtis Fine Papers was withdrawn last year.

Plans show four-bedroom houses and four three-storey blocks of flats.

They also show a seating area by the reservoir, a play area and a kickabout area.

The applicants are also seeking consent to create associated parking and amenity space.

The site is designated for housing in the Local Plan.
