Please let me know if anything else is required. I also appreciate that it is encouraged that neighbours resolve any issues themselves prior to the committee meetings. As requested, Objectors’ names and addresses: 1. Christine Muriel Richards 3 The Paddock, Auchterarder, PH3 1LE 2.

While you have provided your name and have confirmed your ownership of the address 3 The Paddock, it is missing critical information in order to deem it ‘electronically signed’. Please note that your email objection does not include: 1. All objectors’ full addresses (your full address, as well as your mother’s full address)

2 2. All objectors full names (your mother’s full name has not been included) Please ensure that the above information is received by no later than 5pm on Wednesday, 17 January 2024, failing which the objection will be deemed late. The Licensing Committee has discretion to consider late objections or representations if satisfied that there is sufficient reason why the objection or representation was not received in time. If this applies you will need to explain in your objection or representation, why it is late. A copy of your objection or representation will not be considered unless the Licensing Committee makes a decision that it will consider it. Given that this short-term let licence application has been validated, the status of the application on our Public Register has been updated from ‘submitted’ to ‘pending’. This means that the application has now moved to outside consultation, providing for feedback from Police Scotland, Fire and Rescue Services, and Planning. These consultees have a statutory period of 28 days from the date the application is validated to respond. It is after that period has passed that the objection(s) will be considered at a Licensing Committee meeting to be convened at a future date. However, you will receive notification by way of an invite letter confirming the date, time and location of the meeting at which time you will have the opportunity to speak to your objection(s) and answer any questions the Licensing Committee may have. Further information can be viewed at Objections and Representations to a short term let licence application. In the interim, we encourage neighbours to engage with the host/operator of the short-term let to resolve any concerns before a Committee Meeting is convened. If your objection is resolved to the satisfaction of all parties before such a Committee Meeting is convened, please contact us as soon as possible.

3 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 am writing on behalf of my mother who lives at 3 The Paddock to object to the application for short term let at 6 The Paddock. I am also a part owner of 3 The Paddock and have been granted by my mother power to act on her behalf. The objections relate to disturbance. My mother‘s house is directly opposite the house requesting short term let. Her bedroom is at the front of the house. Any noise relating to additional cars, coming and going of people and outdoor activity such as on the patio, will be heard. My mother is 84 years old and enjoys living in this quiet residential cul-de-sac where everybody knows each other and is respectful of each other. Being elderly, my mother often retires to bed around 8.30pm and can arise at 10.00am. Understandably, any short-term guests at no.6 will no doubt be unaware or have any interest or regard for whether or not an elderly lady is trying to sleep across the road. In fact, I believe that there are five bedrooms available at no.6. This could potentially lead to ten adult guests coming and going as they please with between five and ten cars at any time of the day and night. There is external parking at no.6 for 2 cars. Next to it is an actively used turning circle for the use of the whole cul-de-sac and cannot have guests' cars permanently parked in it. Apart from No.8, all the other residents are elderly and any extra cars on this road will be a hazard. Since the eight houses were built in this quiet residential cul-de-sac they have either been owner-occupied or rented to long term tenants, all of whom have kept an eye on each other's well-being and security. Granting a short term let licence will change the whole balance of the cul-de-sac to everyone's detriment. My mother and I kindly ask you to refuse the application for a short-term let licence. I note on the public notice of application that email must be electronically signed. Please could you inform me how to do so and I wish to ensure that these objections are considered. Sincerely Andrew Richards The information in this email is solely for the intended recipients.
