A new school for children with additional needs has been approved for Aberdour, alongside controversial new housing.
Councillors unanimously accepted a bid to increase the number of homes allowed on the Hillside School site to 186, 61 more than previously agreed.
The housing will pave the way for a new, purpose-built Hillside School, which teaches 35 children aged eight to 19 with complex support needs.
It will include state-of-the-art teaching spaces, a dedicated sports wing administrative spaces and a tranquil sensory garden.
Small business workspaces are also included in the project, lodged jointly by Cala Homes and Hillside School.
Crail Airfield tourism plans dismissed
Plans for a major tourism development at Crail Airfield have been quashed on appeal.
Ground Developments Ltd wanted to build 91 self-catering holiday lodges at the old military site.
Business units and, eventually, a hotel, museum and market place were also envisaged.
However, locals were concerned about hundreds of extra cars travelling along a narrow access road.
And they launched a £10,000 fightback against the plans, already refused by Fife councillors..
Their view was backed by a Scottish Government reporter who dismissed the bid this week.
Inverkeithing quarry housing refused
Plans to build 180 houses, holiday lodges and a bistro/cafe at a former Fife quarry have been rejected.
DDR (UK) Ltd wanted to develop the derelict land at Prestonhill Quarry, Inverkeithing.
They said filling in the water-filled void, well-used by divers, would improve safety.
A similar plan was refused in 2022, and councillors saw little difference in the new, amended application.
Glenrothes petrol station opening hours
Morrisons petrol station, in Glenrothes, wants to start 24-hour opening.
The Flemington Road filling station is currently open from 6am to 10pm, in line with the supermarket opening hours.
However, Morrisons have now applied for a certificate to show round-the-clock opening is lawful.
They say a search of previous planning consent found no conditions restricting hours of business.
Primark layout changes
Primark in Dunfermline is amending its internal layout.
The retail giant has just spent £48,000 installing a click and collect area in its High Street store.
And it is now seeking a building warrant for a further £245,000 of work.
This will include a new fitting room, new dividing partitions and electrical work.
Lighting and sprinklers will also be relocated to align with the new layout.
