1 CDS STL From: Grace Sharkey Sent: 17 February 2023 16:43 To: CDS STL Subject: 75 Muirton Place, Perth Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged 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 STL I’m writing to object to an application for a short term letting license for the above property. This address has been used for short term lets, illegally, for a number of months now. As such, and for owners who obviously don’t respect local laws and regulations, how can PKC be assured that the other requirements for property used for letting are being met? These requirements protect both those letting the property and residents who live nearby and in the area. Furthermore, this property is located in a settled, residential street and the introduction of a commercial STL is inappropriate in such an area with both its long-standing residential & commuter parking problems and with an older population. As an ex Community Councillor, I’m aware that there are now a considerable number of STLs operating in North Inch & Muirton and these can be found on most streets in the area. Furthermore, only one or two appear on the STL register, which makes your dealing with this issue all the more urgent. I look forward to being informed of the outcome of this objection. Thank you in advance Grace Sharkey 7 Florence Place Perth PH1 5BH Sent from my iPad APPENDIX 8
