For more information and to submit proposals, visit www.fife.gov.uk/FPP.

Councillor Altany Craik, Fife Council’s Spokesperson for Finance, Economy & Strategic Planning, said: "We look forward to receiving your ideas for Fife’s future. This consultation is an invitation for individuals, communities, landowners, developers and other organisations to share ideas, identify development opportunities, and help us address key issues like housing, infrastructure, and community use.

"The call for sites will help us to update our evidence base of potentially suitable and available land for diverse purposes. As part of our commitment towards reducing our impact on the environment, we’re also looking for suggestions about land that’s suitable for nature recovery, biodiversity or carbon offsetting."
