Mr Chad Anthony Macnaughton (Objects) Comment submitted date: Sat 14 Oct 2023 I would ask the decision makers to note the following. 1. The "Change of Use of Residential Property to Short-term let - Non-statutory Planning Guidance" was issued by the Council as a consultative draft on 31st May 2023. Within Appendix 2, it is stated that the National Planning Framework 4 sets out the policy framework for assessing planning applications and that Policy 30 Tourism (e) states that proposals for re-use as short term holiday letting will not be supported if - "The loss of residential accommodation is not outweighed by demonstrable economic benefits." The Applicant has provided no evidence in the documents submitted to demonstrate that any local economic benefits will flow from the proposed change of use. 2. The Draft Guidance also specifies that permission will not be granted if the proposal results in the loss of a residential property, unless: a) The proposal includes the extensive refurbishment of an empty property; or b) the property has 4 or more bedrooms; or c) the property has been operating as a short term let for 10 or more years; or d) the proposal is part of a diversification scheme to support an existing business on the same property. None of these exceptions relate to this proposal. 3. The draft guidance further notes that "in all cases, properties must have their own door to the street" to reduce adverse impact on neighbours. This property has no direct access to the street as required by the policy but is accessed through a shared front door. For these reasons, this application should be rejected as it fails to comply with the council's own planning guidance.

Miss Karen Paterson Livingston (Objects) Comment submitted date: Sat 28 Oct 2023 Residential areas are now flooded with air B&Bs which do not add to our neighbour hood .. issues with car parking , noise and if one is allowed leaves flood gates open for others . Sharing same stair ways , doors etc is infringing with privacy and security within shared access buildings . (REDACT) lack of rental properties for residents are a great concern . Perth has plenty hotels and B&Bs without affecting anyone's life's in which we have a right to live in peace and feel secure . I really hope you take all my points into consideration as our title deeds within this development clearly states NO businesses and to my knowledge an Air B&B is classed as just that Thank you
