1 Civic Licensing From: Sent: 19 May 2023 12:57 To: Civic Licensing Subject: FW: Mug Stock Festival Attachments: MugStock Flyer May 2023 (Received by hand 16May23).pdf CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisaon. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open aachments unless you have verified the sender and know the content is safe. From: Sent: Friday, May 19, 2023 12:50 PM To: civiclicensing@pkc.gov Subject: Mug Stock Festival Dear Sir, We are writing to express our concern over the Mug Stock Festival for which, we understand, that you are due to make the Licencing discission on Tuesday 23rd May. The arrival of this Event has come as a shock due to the fact that the Notice for said Event and Licence Application was posted, in accordance with Regulations, at the ‘The Venue’. Unfortunately, this was interpreted as the Castle itself and the Notice was not, therefore, visible to the vast majority of the Community which will be affected by this Event. I understand from Mr Govan that Notices have now been placed at the Estate entrances as of 17th May. The Notice by South Lodge is set well back from the Road and whilst it is available to walkers, is still unlikely to be seen by the wider Community. Due to the negligence in Notice placement, thereby depriving the public of this information, we would request that the Statutory time of Notification prior to Decision be calculated from the 17th May. We have contacted the Development Department to question why the permanent re-siting of this Festival from Glasgow has not been a matter for Planning. Whilst this Event is at present (future expansion is planned) smaller than T in the Park, the same situations apply with regard to the use of the site for this type of Event. The disturbance to residents from amplified stage music and late night traffic will be significant. The total number of hours proposed of amplified music over the four day Festival amounts to 41 (8hr; 15hr; 14hr & 4hr on relevant days). If the hours applied for are granted the Organizers, by their own admission, know that the noise generated will have a ‘significant’ impact on the Community as they have accepted the need to lower the volume ”… significantly to a neighbour friendly level from 11pm…”. Please note the words ‘significantly lower’ (See attached Information Sheet). To subject the Community to constant noise at such high volume that it will require reduction, is not acceptable. It will permeate our homes even with closed windows and impact greatly on the use and enjoyment of our gardens for the whole Holiday; thereby depriving us of our right to the Amenity of our own home.

2 With regard to traffic the Organizers are very vague; with ‘guesses’, ‘estimates’, and ‘maybes’ about the numbers of vehicles. They are unsure of the number of vehicles each Contractor will use for Construction/Set up and ‘believe’ the number of day vehicles will be 1,000 to 1,500 ( a wide margin of difference) over the four days. This does not include any buses. No mention has been made of a cap on the number of day visitors, campers or ticket sales, thereby making it impossible to calculate likely vehicle numbers. If day visitors do not leave the site until after 1 am (Fri/Sat or midnight Sun) this will generate unacceptable levels of night traffic noise until 2am to 3am. The majority will travel through Tullibardine (even if leaving by the airfield exit) to access the A 9. The Organizers are ‘confidant’ this won’t happen as day visitors ‘will not want to drive home so late’. We have no such confidence and believe many will wish to stay until the end of the performance. We also have concerns with Health and Safety issues, particularly with regard to the young children attending this oddly combined Event. Is it acceptable to expose them to high volumes of amplified noise for many hours whilst they participate in their ‘country’ activities. There are also Environmental issues with this site, particularly with regard to the protected Ospreys that nest there annually. The timing of this Event could not be worse as any young birds are highly likely, at this point, to be learning to fly; any disturbance during this crucial period could be disastrous. At a time when we are all being encouraged to be more Planet Friendly, caring of our Countryside and Wildlife by re-Wilding, re-Planting and cutting down on our carbon footprint; we believe it is reprehensible to insinuate a Music Festival into a Rural Farming Community under the guise of a Charitably organised Family Fun Event. Should you decide, however, to grant a Licence for this Event we would strongly request that there should be a definite cap on numbers of all attendee types and that the hours of amplified music be reduced, with the volume at all times ‘neighbour friendly’, i.e. very low decibel levels which will not permeate the wider Community. With regard to the total number of hours of amplified music: we would request that this should not exceed 8 per day; there should be a break between 2 and 4 pm; and should cease completely by 11pm. We also request that any Licence be issued for this one Event only, as the intention is to expand the Mug Stock Festival at which point many issues will need addressing by the Planning Department. It is our opinion that the Organizers are somewhat naive at present in their approach to organizing the Festival at this venue. Yours sincerely, Mr P & Mrs H Collings.
