The subjects comprise a generally rectangular site which is situated approximately 800m west of the town’s main commercial facilities on Bonnygate. The site has a gross frontage of approximately 58m to the A91 and an average depth of approximately 76.5m. The former Cupar Police Station currently stands on the site.
The site area extends to 0.498 hectares (1.25 acre) and would be suitable for both commercial and residential developments.

Development Remarks:
A good opportunity to acquire a very well located site in a central location within Cupar, a popular and picturesque former market town. Proposals for the site have focussed on both commercial and residential schemes and have envisaged both a single use retail occupier or alternatively a relatively high density residential development. Due to the location and simplicity of the site there will be a good range of flexible options to suit a variety of development proposals.
There are two proposed layout schemes which have been produced. One of which redevelops part of the former police station and converts it in to a potential 24 bed care home with an additional 11 retirement bungalows being built on site. The second scheme has the current building demolished and 26 units built on site.
