1 Civic Licensing From: sandra cameron Sent: 18 September 2023 21:53 To: CDS STL Subject: Objection to proposed short term let at 5 Craigower Crescent, Pitlochry, PH16 5HS Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed 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 Re Short term let application for 5 Craigower Crescent, Pitlochry, PH16 5HS We would like to give notice of our objection to the short term let application for the address above due to the following reasons: We have lived in our house for over 28 years and when we moved in it was a quiet, residential area which was a main attraction for us. We have had a family and enjoyed the peaceful neighbourhood throughout the years. We were not informed by the owner that he was going to host short term let guests, in what was, his parents’ house. The owner and his wife, the manager to be of the business, do not live in this country. They reside permanently in Spain. We do not have any contact information for them if there is any issue with future guests. The house across the road from this house has been operating as a short term let since last October but the owner is only now applying for their short term let licence. Having 2 residential homes, in such close proximity to each other and our home, being turned into short term lets is causing us a great deal of worry and stress. There is a driveway at No 5 that can accommodate one car but as we have seen across the road, some guests arrive in more than one vehicle. The influx of new cars that this may bring to the crescent is a danger to the numerous young children that play round the crescent. We already have cars of all sizes visiting the short term let across the road and the vets practice nearby and more parked cars exacerbate the issue of safety for the children that are cycling and running about to and from the nearby playpark. The park has been very well used this summer and continues to be by the local primary aged children and it is worrying to watch as they play with the increase of so many cars that we feel there is an accident waiting to happen. We have seen cars parked on the pavement which also poses a danger to pedestrians as there are elderly residents along with young families. We already hear the guests coming and going from across the road at all hours without concern for those who live here. We have also been informed by another neighbour of cannabis being used by guests at the other property. We are concerned that the house may be used by Stag and Hen parties. We feel that they don’t live in the town and therefore have no regard for other residents. Pitlochry has a very high ratio of short term lets to residential properties and there is such a concern that there has been a public consultation already. We do not feel that there is any need for there to be any more. We chose to live away from the busy areas of town and do not want to feel worried by people coming and going without any regard for the community. Please see below the map of Craigower Crescent. I have marked the two houses that are applying for short term let licences so that you can see how close they are to each other in a small neighbourhood of 11 houses. I have also attached a photo from Google Maps Street View of the houses. Thank you Mr Paul Cameron and Mrs Sandra Cameron, 7 Craigower Crescent Pitlochry
