Mrs Kay Nicol's proposals to look after horses at Meadow View, Hill End, to the northeast of the village, were previously rejected by Fife Council.
She's seeking consent to change the use of 1.9 hectares of agricultural land for the new livery.
The application includes a request for partial retrospective approval of several elements already in place - the council was set to take enforcement action against the unauthorised works - as well as consent for new additions.
Her planning agents, SBA Architects, explained: "The applicant was not aware planning consent was not required as assumed the proposals fell under 'agricultural' works.
"She was also historically wrongly advised on the planning process by a previous consultant."

Mrs Nicol's proposals include the retention of three storage containers, a timber stable block, a section of hardstanding track, parking areas, timber fencing, photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine.
Some unauthorised elements, such as a new access junction, sections of fencing, and a stretch of hardstanding track, are proposed to be removed and the land restored to its original state.
New works include a livery stable block, a revised access junction from Cleish Road, and associated fencing and hardstanding.
The previous submission was refused on the grounds of unclear use class, insufficient justification for the location, and concerns over the access road.
This development forms part of a wider business diversification strategy linked to Meadow View Glamping, an existing enterprise operated by Mrs Nicol on adjacent land.
She received permission for three accommodation pods in the summer of 2022 as part of efforts to attract more visitors to the area.
The idea is that the stables will complement the glamping offer, allowing livery clients to book overnight stays in the pods.
