38 Finlay Terrace, Pitlochry, PH16 5EU. Perth and Kinross Council, Licensing Department, Legal Services, Pullar House, 35 Kinnoull Street, Perth, PH1 5GD. 15 June 2024. Dear Sir / Madam, Re: Public NoƟce of ApplicaƟon for Short-Term Let Licence - posted at 44 Finlay Terrace, Pitlochry, PH16 5EU on 7 June 2024. Applicant – Stephen Saint. We are wriƟng to object to the applicaƟon above which we believe will result in the property being used for holiday lets. Our objecƟon is based on the following points: 1. On 3 March 2022 we signed the Missives for our new property built by G. S. Brown. These stated that houses in the 8-home development ‘shall be used as private dwelling houses only and for no other purpose whatever’. We took this to mean that they could not be used as holiday rentals and this was confirmed when we were shown around the property by a G. S. Brown representaƟve. The applicaƟon would appear to break this condiƟon. (I have aƩached a photo of the relevant secƟon of our Title Sheet held by Scotland’s Land InformaƟon Service). 2. Three of the new houses were purchased as second homes (NOT 44 Finlay Terrace) and are used privately by their owners. However, we have heard that some owners are also considering using their properƟes as holiday lets. If one applicaƟon goes through others are more likely and the nature of our residenƟal area will change. 3. We are opposed to the property becoming a holiday let as it would change the nature of what was planned to be a residenƟal area – especially if other properƟes also changed to holiday lets. In addiƟon, Pitlochry is short of residenƟal homes and we believe that houses built as private dwellings should be used for that purpose. We look forward to receiving your response. Yours faithfully Graham Simpson Susan Connon
