TEMPORARY accommodation in the Dockyard Digs scheme should be allowed to stay for another seven years to house workers on a nationally-important project in Rosyth. That s the view of Capital and Provincial (Rosyth) Limited who want the seven single-storey pods they own at Castle Road, due to be removed by June 30, to remain until the end of March 2028. They say the 14 housing units will be needed for workers building the five new frigates at Rosyth Dockyard for the Royal Navy, although the same argument failed to work last year when Fife Council ordered them to remove 62 adjacent pods. A planning statement on the company s behalf said: There is a continuing requirement for temporary accommodation for itinerant specialist workers to support infrastructure projects at the Port of Rosyth, including the nationally-important construction of five Royal Navy frigates.
Lisa Moncur wants to convert the old Dander Inn and the flat above into one house. The pub, at 108-110 Rumblingwell, closed around six years ago and has now fallen into disrepair. A planning statement on behalf of Ms Moncur said: The interior of the ground floor was a pub but is now in a broken and derelict state, the entire pub (non-load-bearing walls, units, sanitaryware and fixtures) have been removed by others. Only the load-bearing posts and stone walls remain. The property was purchased by our client in this derelict state. She has employed a structural engineer to allow her to stabilise the property on a temporary basis and has altered two supporting posts at their heads and their footings.
