The new Madras College looks likelier than ever to be built at Langlands in St Andrews after councillors confirmed it as the preferred site on educational grounds.
Members of Fife’s executive committee have formally agreed that the St Andrews University-owned site should be the favoured location for the £50 million replacement – subject to an option agreement with the university for the acquisition of a suitable site forming part of the land owned by the university at Langlands, and the completion of a full planning assessment for development on the Langlands site as part of the overall masterplan for the St Andrews West area.
The public will have their chance to have their say on the new plan between March 13 and May 12.
Council leader David Ross hailed the decision as a “significant step” and depute provost Councillor Kay Morrison it as “wonderful”.
