1 SPR STL From: Colin Murchie Sent: 27 April 2026 11:24 To: SPR STL Subject: Raising 'neighbour' objections to Short Term Let licence application Categories: OBJECTIONS/COMPLAINTS Application: E & D Walker 39 Foyers Way, Drovers Gate, Crieff PH7 3FA ID: 2628 Neighbour: June & Colin Murchie 56 Foyers Way, Drovers Gate, Crieff PH7 3FE Objections raised by neighbour living adjacent to the named application property: For many years past and present governments express their desire to fulfill UK's requirement for more homes to be built to meet current population demands. That desire is equally expressed by local government, local authorities, councils etc. New houses were built in the Drovers Gate, Crieff site to that end (including a proportion of affordable housing) yet here is an application to freely 'let go' a near newly built private house for sole commercial short term (holiday home / AirBnB type) purposes. Surely approval of such an application is a contradiction to Perth & Kinross Council's own house / home planning strategy and ethos? Object with regards the frequency of 'holiday residents' coming and going. Objection over numbers of holiday residents in any given booking managed by the owners and / or their agents (there appears to be no freely available information on the numbers of individuals who can be staying in the property at any given time). Therefore, objection over associated noise / anti-social behaviour in what is a very quiet residential area and street. Objection over numbers of cars / caravans / motorhomes being parked in or around the said property at time of any specific holiday accommodation booking - worth noting that the property has a narrow driveway that may just accommodate two motor cars, therefore raising the concern of where would any additional or larger vehicles park? There is an adjacent parking- bay but that is often taken up by local residents, therefore encouraging holiday visitors to either legally park on the road outside Number 39 or illegally on the pavement. Both by definition, cause issues to the flow of traffic on Foyers Way and raise safety concerns for road users, cyclists and pavement pedestrians alike. Objection added to the above with regards to the frequency of property management personnel attending property at any given time of day / night and their own possible disruption in parking in or around the property.
