1 SPR STL From: Kimberley Travers Sent: 27 August 2024 20:53 To: SPR STL Subject: Formal Objection to Short term let planning Attachments: 1000022967.jpg; 1000022965.jpg 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. To whom it may concern I wish to submit my formal objects to the proposed short term let planning for 13 GREY ROW RUTHVENFIELD PERTH PH13JR Submitted by MRS GAIL TAYLOR AND MR DAVID TAYLOR of 15 BAXTER ROAD CALDERWOOD EH53 OQF I believe this may be a late objection however myself and other residents in the street have only just been made aware of this planning by a piece of paper attached to a telephone pole put up yesterday. I will attach pictures of this. i believe this application has been put up in this way to deliberately deceive residents in hopes they didn't notice. I do believe the persons submitting this application have done so in an underhanded way to attempt leverage over the application process We had been given the impression by the owners of this property that it would purely be used for 'extended family use.' I wish to object for the following reasons - Disturbance (noise or other) to residence at home or in garden. The properties are small and noise tends to travel, we do not wish to be disturbed in our own homes. Considering this property is a flat and not a 'cottage' as the owners are trying to brand it as. There are multiple neighbours who will be affected by any excess noise generated from this holiday let.This is purely a residential area the noise and turnover would have significant impact on our homes every day. - Gardens, our gardens all border on to each other and out of respect we try to keep noise to a minimum. I believe this proposed planning would have a detrimental effect on residents being able to enjoy peace and privacy in their homes. -carparking, we already have very limited parking for residents. We have allocated spaces for our properties which is not always enough for multiple cars. We do not want our spaces being used nor the ends of the street being used as parking for multiple guests. We all contribute to the cost of maintenance for the road as it is for residential use only. - Our street is not connected to a mains drainage system, we use a septic tank which requires all residents to be mindful of what goes down our drains. Having careless short term users disposing of all sorts into the system will not only cause us catastrophic plumbing issues but cost as well. Our septic system is very old and we have to be so careful. Why should we have to make sacrifices for it to be ruined by non residents.

2 -There are MANY residents with dogs. We all try to be courteous and keep our dogs on leads in the shared areas. I do not wish to be harassed by short term resident dogs on my way to and from my door and car. -The properties are listed buildings and I believe having this sort of short term let will devalue the local area and properties. Its a quiet street with very little noise pollution. I strongly believe this short term let would have detrimental effects on the local amenity and character of the area. You are removing a potential first home for someone local and allowing non perth residents to make a profit. This short term let will place a significant burden on all aspects of our small street and rural community,negatively impacting the local area and residents Regards Kimberley Travers 10 GREY ROW RUTHVENFIELD PERTH PH13JR
