November 1997: Fife Council serves a Repairs Notice on the owner. November 2000: Local planners request that the property be added to the Buildings at Risk Register. It has stood vacant since the ealy 1990s. Though permissions were granted in 1995 to redevelop the building into 3 flats and a house, no serious works were carried out. The 1997 Repairs Notice has not been complied with, and Fife Council Planning and Building Control Departments may press for Compulsory Purchase should an interest party come forward. The Council is attempting to contact the owner to ascertain his intentions. External inspection reveals that the rear outhouses are now derelict. The modern extensions were demolished about 2 years ago. 30 December 2002: The Dundee Courier reports that Compulsory Purchase proceedings are to be initiated.
