Dear Sir/Madam 
2 Ferry Crescent, Pitlochry, PH16 5DZ - application for short term letting 
We are writing with respect to the above property and their application to use it for short term letting.  I wish to object to this application for the undernoted reasons. 
Firstly, this is a residential area of Pitlochry, Ferry Crescent has 8 properties in it and already two of these, numbers 7 and 8, are rented out for holiday letting by owners who
do not live in the area.  Number 3 is on long term let, and number 5 is a second home.  Number 2 was previously on a long term let under the previous owner but since being
sold last year, it has been empty while being done up.  So there are only 3 owner occupiers in the the cul-de-sac, a very poor ratio. 
There is a desperate need in Pitlochry for long term letting properties, this would be a much better use of the house. 
Additionally we feel that number 2 has inadequate parking available for holiday letting. It has one compact space in front of its garage.  Already we have had problems with
not only the owner but their contractors helping themselves to using our adjacent driveway at times. No permission was sought or given for this.  We are very concerned that
due to inadequate parking being available, holiday makers will park in the road which hampers the turning space or will abuse our driveway.   
I hope you will consider our reasons for objection and take them into account when deciding whether to grant the license. 
Yours faithfully 
Alan and Jennifer Forsyth
