Nicola Storrar From: Karen Yellowlees Sent: 01 June 2023 17:16 To: CDS STL Subject: 27 Willowbank, Dunkeld 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. To whom it may concern I am making contact to have lodged my objection, and reasons, to the application for a secondary letting for the house at 27 Willowbank, Dunkeld, PH8 0JN, submitted by Jill Davidson, Gamekeepers Cottage, Fungarth, Dunkeld, PH8 0ES. 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 used as holiday rentals. The houses in Willowbank were built as council houses. I find it really sad and unacceptable 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 object to this application on these aforementioned grounds. 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, or indeed to privately let accommodation that provides people with homes. I hope I have managed to adequately express my objection. Yours sincerely, Karen Yellowlees Address- St Abbs Birnam Terrace Birnam PH8 0DR Tel no- Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
