If approved, the homes would be built on land to the south of the village’s Main Street.

The land was previously earmarked with planning permission in principle for a residential development, and developers are hopeful that this new move will be approved.

The development will feature a mix of two-to-four-bedroom houses, which will be a range of detached, semi-detached and terraced homes, The Courier reports.

A design statement submitted as part of the application said: “The proposal provides 125 new homes, including three affordable homes, set within a well-established and attractive landscape setting.

“It creates a new place which complements its existing setting, creating a welcoming and attractive neighbourhood within the southwest of Coaltown of Wemyss.”

The proposal was submitted to Fife Council this week, who will consider the plans in due course.
