The warehouse would be converted into 15 flats whilst permission is sought to demolish the nearby byre. 27 March 1992: The Fife Free Press reports that permission to demolish the byre has been granted. 3 April 1992: The Fife Free Press reports that Planning Permission is to be sought for the erection of 27 new houses on the long byre site. Planning Permission is subsequently granted for 16 houses. A Section 50 agreement requires that the new-build be used to finance the rehabilitation of the warehouse.

The last planning application for the site was rejected. May 2004: Local residents report that the warehouse stands in relatively good condition. The site is still earmarked for development.
