1 Civic Licensing From: anna brocklehurst < > Sent: 06 November 2023 09:32 To: CDS STL Subject: Application 1321 - Objection to a short-term let licence application for The Tabernacle, Dull, Aberfeldy, Perth And Kinross, PH15 2JQ 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. Dear Sir / Madam I am writing to you regarding the short term license application for the Tin Tabernacle, Dull. Application number is 1321. Given the delays in posting the notice i assume you will accept this note. I am a close neighbour, my address is Kirk House, Dull, Ph152JQ Our concerns are in relation to: - Volume of traffic - specifically overuse of the private track that we have a shared responsibility to contribute to but this is undefined. The track is owned by the owners of the tabernacle. The volume of traffic this business puts on the track is disproportionate to the other properties who share responsibility for maintenance and improvement. Changeovers are very frequent - there are two properties at the address that are rented out on a short term basis (one is a "caravan" ) on air bnb and as well as the traffic on the path and in the village for those staying, there are cleaners, gardeners, delivery vans and more every week back and forth. There is currently no plan in place for maintaining the track which impacts on neighbours to as it connects to other private paths and the wider village. A solution for this would be to agree a maintenance plan asap. This will need to be managed by the owners of the track as it is their responsibility. - Lack of manager or responsible person. I do not object to the property being rented out "in principle". We object to the lack of on-site or even nearby management and oversight of any issues, problems, noise, fire, water, waste etc. There is no one responsible for the property or its guests in the UK. A solution to this would be to appoint someone local who checks regularly on key issues and is a liaison for problems who can be on site quickly. - Noise. We have had many issues with noise - generally it is loud music late into the night during the summer especially - which means we rarely use our garden in the evening as we can hear people in the hot tubs playing music and partying well into the evening. - Business. We did not object to the caravan or tabernacle getting planning permission originally as we were led to believe the tabernacle would be a home, and the caravan would have an on- site manager. Our concern is that this by-passing of process will be repeated with any future developments on the site. As such, i feel we need to make clear our objections to the tabernacle short term license in the hope that management of it can be improved - and any further development would be strongly challenged and approached in the most transparent way. Regards, Richard and Anna Brocklehurst
