Macdonald hotels who own the Rusacks Hotel in St Andrews, which overlooks the 1st and 18th fairways of St Andrews Old Course have applied for planning permission for a five storey extension which would see the opening of a new glass fronted restaurant overlooking the famous Links. The restaurant is planned to be on the upper floor and would give some outstanding views over the course and coastline.
Fife council planners will discuss the application, but there are objections from certain parties about the design and scale of the development which may not complement the existing architecture.
