A FORMER quarry on the outskirts of Oakley could be transformed into holiday accommodation.

The vacant plot is currently used to store building materials and general rubble prior to recycling but could instead become a single-storey holiday home if plans are approved by Fife Council.

The site is around 20 metres to the east of Oakley, off the A907.

Applicant Kenny McCallum says the property will be used by himself and his family but may also be used as an Airbnb in the future as part of his retirement plan.

Documents submitted to the local authority add that the accommodation would only be used for 10 months of the year.

The building will have a flat roof and 'burnt timber' finish designed to blend in and not challenge the surrounding landscape.

Its height is also deliberately restricted at 2.9 metres as to be obscured by the 2.4 metres high boundary hedges.

The construction design would allow it to be moved in sections when required and the unit is supported on pad foundations to avoid disruption to surrounding ground.

Mr McCallum has also purchased land bounding the A907 in order to retain control of landscaping and ensure visibility splays are maintained for road safety.
