Whitekirk Hill is a tourism and leisure facility, half a mile from the village of Whitekirk, and was formerly the Whitekirk Golf and Country Club. Planning permission in principle was granted in July 2020 for a maximum of 41 holiday lodges and associated development on the site, which also features a mixed-use, multi-function leisure club facility with restaurant, bar and café facilities, gym and swimming pool and indoor/outdoor children’s play areas.

Permission was granted in November 2020 for the construction of nine of those lodges. The current application is for the next phase of development, of 22 lodges, which is part retrospective as a number of the holiday lodges and their associated access roads and parking areas have already been installed on the site. Phase two features 12 three-bedroom lodges and 10 micro lodges with one bedroom each.

No objections or representations had been received. The application was approved with nine votes and one abstention.
