Specsavers plans new consultation room and signage at St Andrews shop

Spesavers has applied to Fife Council for listed building consent to do the internal work, and install an external condenser unit at its shop at 169 South Street. The internal works mainly comprise of removing some stud partitioning and fittings, and installing new stud walls and wall linings to form a new consultation room.

A supporting statement, submitted as part of the application, said there will be no impact on the external shopfront windows - but the frontage will be redecorated and new illuminated signage put in place.

The statement added: “The works proposed are intended to be undertaken as sympathetically as possible replacing like for like, or by enhancing the traditional aesthetic. Contractors will be made aware of the listed status throughout works, and will be instructed as to the importance of retaining all historical fabric as existing.”Councillors will consider the application in due course.
