Residents who took issue with the sudden commencement of works behind their homes and contacted Fife Council.
Planning permission for 60 homes and a new access road was granted in 2004 to previous site owners Thistle Developments, who went on to build the access road but did not proceed with the houses.
Under Scottish planning legislation, work approved by a planning permit must begin within three years of approval. Officers advised Thistle in 2007 that the creation of the access road satisfied this criteria, meaning the permit remains valid even if the site changes hands.
Raith Developments acquired the site in recent weeks for a reported £2.9 million, according to documents lodged with the Registers of Scotland.
