1 SPR STL From: Carolyn Findlay Sent: 26 September 2025 19:37 To: SPR STL Subject: Glenburn, Main Street, Kirkmichael. PH10 7NT - Objection Categories: OBJECTIONS/COMPLAINTS CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you have verified the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Perth & Kinross Council Glenburn, Main Street, Kirkmichael. PH10 7NT I am writing to formally object to the granting of a short-term let license for the above property. We have a strong and welcoming community within our village, and this cottage is very much at the heart of it. While I understand the property was recently on the market and did not sell to a family, there is clear demand locally for long-term rentals. This has been raised on several occasions in our village WhatsApp group. We would greatly benefit from young families who can live here and contribute to the life of the village, rather than seeing another home set aside for short-term letting. There are also wider concerns with owner-absent properties. When homes are let out for short stays, issues such as noise and antisocial behaviour can arise, and without an owner present to manage these matters, it places an unfair burden on neighbours. The layout of the gardens behind the cottages on Main Street means that outdoor spaces are very close together. Residents know one another well, and there is a sense of mutual respect and trust. Having a constant turnover of short-term guests using the back garden would inevitably be disruptive to this atmosphere. I am submitting this objection on 25th September. I note that the application is dated 19th September, but as of today there is no notice displayed at the property. This application also appears to follow closely on from a previous six-week application, which I understand does not require the same public display of notice. Thank you for taking my concerns into consideration. Yours sincerely, Mrs Carolyn Findlay Cnoc Sualtach Kirkmichael Blairgowrie
