Plans submitted for £10m St Andrews hotel
Modified plans for an 80-room family friendly hotel and health club in St Andrews, Scotland have been submitted by Crerar Hotels.
The company says its proposal would generate £10 million of investment for the local economy and create 60 jobs.
The three/four star property would be roughly 50,000 sq ft in size and include community parkland placed into community trust.
The company held a two-day public exhibition for local residents in June. Proposals to place the parkland into a community trust and develop better linkage to the beach came from the public consultation.
The hotel group’s chief executive Paddy Crerar said: “Crerar Hotels has benefited immensely from information gathered through early community engagement.
“The results of our public exhibition and stakeholder meetings have enabled us to modify our proposals ahead of lodging this planning application, for instance to take into account the public’s wish to see land surrounding the hotel placed in a community trust.
“Ultimately, our intention is to provide an environmentally conscious, affordable, quality hotel which would welcome families and local residents as well as being attractive to tourists.”
