Dear Ms Engelberts
As residents of Cottown we wish to object to the granting of
short-term let licences for Cottown House 1,2,3.
We have only very recently become aware of this licence
application. Our main reason for obiecting is the access road
damage caused by vehicles - cars, trucks and trailers -
belonging to guests of these properties. The owners of
Cottown House have contributed little or nothing to the repair
of this private road during the last 20 years but yet are
responsible for creating the heaviest use. The commercial
vehicles belonging to itinerant ffades people also ueate noise
early in the moming or late in the evening with their comings
and goings.
We, the residents, depend on the goodwill (labour and
financial contribution) of a small group of residents to keep
the road usable. The owners of Cottown House are not
members of this group.
The activities at the various buildings at Cottown House are
very unclear to us as we are unaware of any change of use
since the original Cottown Stud was closed (we are not even
sure if it ever opened for business). We, therefore, do not
know which premises are referred to as Cottown House 1,2, or
3.
Furthermore, PKC granted planning permission for the
construction of four houses in the grounds of Cottown House
despite many objections to the application. A planning
condition imposed by PKC that the access road should be
repaired to a high standard bpfiore house construction began
was later changed to the access road being repaired after all
fbur houses are sold. No explanation has been provided for
this critical amendment nor was it notified to any of the
objectors.

Please note that as the entrance to the grounds of Cottown House is located around 150 metres from the last
house in Cottown, at the end of a private road, any public notice that may have been displayed related to a
short-term let application would not have been visible to Cottown residents, hence this letter being sent to PKC
after the objection deadline date.
