SPR STL From: Kirsty Kilday Sent: 12 August 2025 18:47 To: SPR STL Subject: Objection to short term let Categories: I am writing to formally object to the short-term let application for the property at 11 Speckle Park Road, Perth, PH1 3XL. My objection is based on the following grounds: 1. Impact on Residential Amenity The introduction of a short-term let at this address risks increased noise, disruption, and transient occupancy patterns that are not in keeping with the established residential character of the area. 2. Neighbourhood Safety and Security Frequent changes in occupancy reduce the sense of community and make it more difficult for residents to recognise and look out for each other. This can lead to increased vulnerability to crime and antisocial behaviour. 3. Parking and Traffic Concerns Visitors unfamiliar with the area may increase congestion and parking pressures, which are already significant in our neighbourhood. 4. Potential Breach of Planning Intent The property is located within a primarily residential area, and its use for commercial short-term letting conflicts with the intended use and purpose of the local planning framework. As shown from the picture of evidence below, short term lets also go against the title deeds of the property. 1 CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation.

I urge the council to consider the cumulative impact of such conversions on the quality of life for permanent residents and to reject this application in order to preserve the stability and wellbeing of our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the council will carefully weigh the concerns of local residents in reaching your decision as well as recognising it goes against the title deeds of the property. Kind regards, Kirsty Kilday 23 Normande Road, Perth, PH1 3XH 3
