1 Civic Licensing From: Karen Jones Sent: 11 October 2023 09:26 To: CDS STL Subject: Re: Update - Objection to short-term let licence application for Flat G Fiscals House 3 South Street, Perth, Perth And Kinross, PH2 8NJ Dear Karen Thanks for your email. Not clear why I have to resubmit my objections as the notice refers to the original date, 10 September and you state that the consultation period has simply been extended. There does not appear to be any new public notice. However for the avoidance of doubt: I am the owner of Flat J Fiscal’s Hope Perth PH2 8NJ, Karen Jones. My flat is directly above Flat G where the owner has applied for a short-term letting license. I object to this application for the reasons given in the objection to the planning application: Planning permission for this building was given for residential flats, not tourism related businesses: Operation of a business is prohibited in the building deed of conditions which the owner of flat G is well aware of; Noise, nuisance and general disturbance caused to other residents of Fiscal’s house; Impact on other tourism related business in the area, eg hotels, of permitting short-term lets in the area; General loss of residential accommodation in an area where there is a housing shortage. Note also that no neighbour notices have been issued for this. The compliance with th minimal public notice requirements is deplorable - notice displayed in a window at a height where it could not be read. This application should be rejected. I note what you say about planning permission but my reference is to the original and current planning status. I am aware of an application to change the status which like other neighbours, I have also objected to. It is perverse that a license can be granted for a purpose for high no planning permission exists.

Contact has been made with the applicant and they have been instructed to display the correct notice for a further 21 days. Please note that, once the new Public Notice of Information is posted, this will reset the public consultation period. As such, you will be required to resubmit your objection if you wish to be heard by the Licensing Committee with respect to this short-term let licence application. Objections and/or representations should include the grounds for making same. In that regard, with respect to your note regarding planning permission, not holding planning permission does not necessarily preclude an applicant from being granted a short-term let licence.
