PLANS for a new drive-thru McDonald's restaurant and a petrol station that will bring 130 jobs to Kelty have gone back to the drawing board.

Fresh proposals have been submitted to Fife Council for the Kathellan Home Farm site at junction 4 of the M90 motorway.

The joint applicants – site owner Ian Maclellan and TG Convenience Stores Ltd – said the eight pump petrol station and shop would create 10 jobs while the McDonald's restaurant would employ 30 full-time and 90 part-time staff.

A statement on their behalf by agents Graham and Sibbald said: "The development will bring the site back into active economic use and make a positive contribution to the local economy by restoring jobs and the passing trade that has been absent since the Baxters facility closed."

The McDonald's restaurant would have 100 covers, 40 car parking spaces and eight cycle spaces, as well as a "fast forward" lane in the drive-thru.
