To whom it may concern 
I am making contact to have lodged my objection, and reasons, to the proposed change of use to a short-term let of
Flat 1, Westwood, Station Road  Birnam  PH8 0DS, application submitted by Mr Alastair Malcolm, Coldraine House,
by Kinross. It's a fact that there is insufficient housing stock in Birnam and surrounds and local people are adversely
impacted by the increasing number of properties that are being snapped up and then used as holiday rentals. I
object to this application on these aforementioned grounds, and would comment that it is ironic and illuminative of
the issues we are facing, that in the same building that Flat 1 is situated within, there is a member of our community
who is being evicted (no fault), and is experiencing uncertainty about where his eventual accommodation will be. 
I find it really sad that many local people are unable to afford to buy or rent in Birnam and Dunkeld and the reasons
for this include a direct link to the increasing number of short term lets and holiday homes. 
I have no objection to people offering holiday accommodation from their own properties, in the way of what was
once known more commonly as bed and breakfast. I hope I have managed to adequately express my objection. 
Yours sincerely
