The Woodend Place shop shut on April 4 after the business owner, Modella Capital, announced insolvency proceedings earlier this year.
Now, Butek Landline Ltd has applied to Fife Council for permission to change the use of the vacant building from a retail warehouse to an office and warehouse facility.
The company wants to use the premises as its principal place of business, with office space for administrative, operational and management functions, alongside a warehouse for storage and distribution.
No external alterations are proposed to the single-storey building, which is opposite Woodend Industrial Estate. Existing access arrangements and the site’s 47 parking spaces would remain in place.
In their supporting statement, agents ORA Architects said the proposal represented a “logical and sustainable re-use of an existing commercial building”.
They added it would deliver an “economic benefit through the establishment of Butek Landline’s business operations” and secure “the long-term productive use of the site”.
The applicant says the surrounding area is already industrial in character, with nearby businesses including Jarvie Plant Hire, Score (Europe), Fife Van Centre and Screwfix.
Butek Landline expects to operate from Monday to Friday, between 8am and 6pm. Scottish Water has confirmed it has no objection to the application.
The council are yet to decide on the application.
