Mr Gordon Hunter (Objects) Comment submitted date: Wed 07 Aug 2024 As the statutory Housing Authority for Perth and Kinross, we have a range of obligations around strategic housing planning, responding to homelessness and increasing the range of good quality, affordable housing options. Through the Right to Buy scheme (now abolished) around half of our housing stock was sold to the then occupiers. These sold properties remain in the market as owner-occupied or privately rented accommodation. Changing the use of properties to serve the short- term let sector is at odds with our strategic housing objectives for the area. Please note the drop down for Commentator Type does not allow me to records a Council Employee so i picked the closest, but for the record i am The Locality Coordinator for Perth & Kinross Council More specifically, this property is located in the Highland Perthshire area which faces the greatest pressures in terms of the balance of supply and demand and there is no doubt that the many properties that have already been transferred to serve the short- term let market have contributed to these pressures. Perth & Kinross Council owns the adjacent flat at 4B Breadalbane Terrace, Aberfeldy. Our current tenant has been in situ since September 2022 with no issues. We are concerned that the use of the property at 4A for short-term letting would mean lots of different people coming and going for short stays, associated noise and anti-social behaviour and that this would be to the detriment of our tenant. Our objection is based on a combination of the points above and I declare that I am authorised to raise this objection on behalf of the Housing Service by the Strategic Lead, Housing and Communities.
