Fife Council has rejected plans for a 24-hour forecourt and drive-thru McDonald’s just off junction four of the M90 at Kelty.
The council’s planning committee said the application by land owner Ian Maclellan and TG Convenience Stores Ltd “failed to demonstrate a proven need for a countryside location” and that there were “significant concerns with regard to both road and pedestrian safety”.
The plan was to redevelop the site that was previously occupied by the Kathellan cafe and farm shop, which closed four years ago.
The proposed forecourt would have had eight pumps covered by a canopy, two jet wash bays, service bays for water, air and vacuuming, customer parking and a new shop. A separate HGV refuelling area with HGV parking would have been located between the forecourt and the McDonald’s.
The planning application received 74 letters of support and 22 objections.
