1 Civic Licensing From: Richard Gray Sent: 25 September 2023 22:23 To: CDS STL Cc: Jennifer Gray Subject: Objection to Short Term Let Licence Application Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisaon. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open aachments unless you have verified the sender and know the content is safe. > >>> Dear Sir/Madam >>> >>> We wish to lodge an objecon to the applicaon for short term lengs by 1A Balmoral Court in Gleneagles Village. We have been made aware that a piece of paper, which we assume must have been the noce, was aached to a light in the garden of the property last month but was not obvious or accessible to read. >>> >>> Our objecon is based on the proximity of the property to adjacent residences and the resultant inconvenience caused by frequent short term usage by pares of varying size. >>> >>> In parcular there have been regular infringements of the generally accepted standards of behaviour which prevail on Balmoral Court and are encapsulated in the rules of the Balmoral Court Residents Associaon. Examples of this have included : >>> a) visitors playing ball games on the communal land outside our >>> property >>> b) dog fouling on the communal ground outside our property and >>> failure to keep dogs on leads >>> c) excessive numbers of vehicles parked in the driveway of 1A and oen on the road. Online adversements refer to sleeping accommodaon for pares up to ten. Given the large number of people oen staying there relave to the size of the property they are presumably obliged to spill over into the garden causing noise, parcularly at night. Furthermore the adversing states that the garden is a good size and therefore suitable for dog owners whereas it is small and surrounded by communal grounds which are not referred to. >>> d) visitors trespassing on our gardens and looking through the >>> windows of our property e)visitors using our dustbins to dispose of >>> rubbish f)excessive noise caused by music and social gatherings on the terrace/barbecue area created at the front of 1A, and on the adjacent lawned and wooded areas, directly across from our property. >>> g) an-social behaviour linked to group events, including hosle responses to polite reminders about minimising loud music at all hours. >> >>> Not all pares have displayed these types of behaviour but a sufficiently large number have done so to negavely impact the environment. >>> >>> There is inconsistent language used in the adversements on websites, some of which preclude usage by “stag”, “hen” pares, “21sts” or “large gatherings ” or in the case of Airbnb referring to “no pares or events”. However a significant number of gatherings appear to be centred around a variety of such celebratory events. >> >>> In summary the nature of the usage of the property and the associated behaviour is inconsistent with the atmosphere and environment of Balmoral Court. This is a private road containing thirteen houses which are laid out

They are respecul of the need to avoid disturbance in such a quiet residenal community, in the same way as would apply to flats with shared access and communal areas. >> >>> >>> Richard and Jennifer Gray 3X Balmoral Court >>> PH3 1SH >> >> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>
