Crerar Hotels plans family friendly hotel in St Andrews

Crerar Hotels has now submitted its planning application to develop a new 3-4 star 80-bedroom family friendly hotel and health club at St Nicholas Park in St Andrews. The proposals would generate £10 million of investment for the local economy and create 60 jobs.

A new open parkland which would be placed in trust for the community in order to be safeguarded for future generations; improved public access to the beach and a public viewing point overlooking the St Andrews skyline would be developed. Hotel facilities such as the restaurants, health club and spa would be targeted to attract local custom along side hotel residents.

Crerar Hotels held a public exhibition on 15th and 16th June 2007 inviting local residents and interested parties to learn more about the proposals and give their views. The proposals to place the parkland into a community trust and develop better linkage to the beach came directly from this public consultation.
