Pre Application Consultation Development at Keithfield. Proposals for Development of a Smokehouse on Industrial land at Keithfield along with a Restaurant/Retail building at land beside Keithfield B999/B9170 junction were presented for discussion. The Ythan smokehouse will be expanded to create a possibility of up to 20 jobs full and part time with spin off to local businesses. The smokehouse will use locally produced meat, fish and game to serve in the Restaurant as well as supplying a wider area. The development would enhance tourism locally and would include woodland walks etc. and would retain Keithfields Tarves address.
