Developers have asked Fife Council to add 11 more homes onto the 6.2 hectare site. AEL Developments previously secured approval from the local authority for of 86 homes on land between the A955, Randolph Street to the east and Victoria Avenue to the south.

According to planning papers lodged this week, construction is currently ongoing. However, the council has now received a request to allow a site reconfiguration which would allow the development of 11 additional homes.

According to the 2011 census, the village – one of many traditional mining communities across the Kingdom – has a population of 1928
