TOWN AND VILLAGE PLANS
Guardbridge Village Plan
See also the Action Plan and paragraphs 1.5 , 1.9 - 1.11 and 1.25 of the Plan Statement
 
1. Profile
a) Population - 753
b) Role - Guardbridge relies on Curtis Fine Papers as the principal source of local employment. There is scope to broaden the job opportunities by providing land for new investment in the local economy. The Local Plan identifies land for mixed-use development phased over the Plan period and beyond which includes business, housing, and community facilities. This will make a positive contribution to the village, capitalise on the ready access to Leuchars rail station and strategic road links via the A919, and attract some of the house-driven development pressure from St Andrews.

Guardbridge Expansion Masterplan Proposal Pr39
Fife Council will produce a masterplan and development brief for the mixed use expansion on sites h43-h46. It will aim to integrate the development with the rest of the village and Leuchars rail station, address design, layout and massing requirements, identify suitable locations for proposed open space, community woodland (c10) and employment land, identify a site for a possible new primary school (c9), and any other community facilities.
