Following rationalisation and redevelopment of the existing Lynebank Hospital, NHS Fife has declared an area of land to be surplus to requirements. This land extends to approximately 3.29 ha (8.14 acres) and has recently been cleared of buildings. The site benefits from substantial prominence with frontage to Halbeath Road, the main arterial route into and out of Dunfermline town centre. Access to the site is taken directly off Halbeath Road and will be shared with the existing hospital. It is anticipated that any development will require upgrade/ alterations to this existing access arrangements. Any development that takes place on the land will have to have regard to the proximity to hospital buildings being retained and in particular the areas offering direct patient care. Appropriate levels of screening during any redevelopment of the hospital will be a key consideration in the disposal of the site.
