Dear Sirs,
RE: APPLICATION FOR SHORT TERM LET LICENCE IN RESPECT OF DOUGLASLEA AND THE BOTHY, 19/19A
TOWNHEAD, AUCHTERARDER, PH3 1AH (the “Premises”)
We refer to the public notice of application for short-term let licence for the Premises.
While we have no desire to interrupt the owner’s use of their property, we are concerned about the
Premises being used as a short-term let. It is very possible that large groups of people may wish to book
the property for the purposes of group getaways, hen parties, etc; our bedroom overlooks the garden of
the Premises and we find that noise carries very easily. A temporary dwelling is located in the garden
(this being 19a), meaning that visitors often come and go, and spend large amounts of time in the
garden itself. Our sleep has previously been disturbed during the night by noise on occasion, but we
appreciate that everyone is entitled to enjoy their property as they wish and do not mind this being a
rarity. However, we would strongly object to that being a regular occurrence (which we regretfully point
out seems highly likely) and feel that it would interfere with our enjoyment of own property.
We therefore respectfully request that the application is rejected. If the Council is minded to accept, we
should be grateful if the licence could be restricted with an outdoor curfew.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Fraser Grant and Mr Richard Davidson
