To: The Secretary Local Review Body Perth and Kinross Council Committee Services Council Building 2 High Street Perth PH2 0NF Application Reference: 23/01661/FLL Dear Members of the Perth and Kinross Council, I am writing to formally appeal the recent decision to refuse planning permission for the change of use to short-term at 40 Low Road, Perth PH2 0NF. I fully understand and respect the importance of the PKC planning process and the Council's commitment to maintaining the integrity of our community. However, I believe that there are reasons to reconsider the refusal for the change of use to short-term on my property. My property has been fully renovated by myself from a rundown tenement to a high end one bed property. There has been a major amount of works carried out to bring the property up to a good standard. The property has been rewired, replumbed, new central heating installed, new double glazed windows installed, a new bathroom installed, a new kitchen installed and the internal decoration finished to a high standard throughout. I have been operating as a STL since June 2021. I manage the property myself; I meet and greet all of my guests. I have a 5 star rating on Airbnb, 5 out of 5, 9.8 rating on Booking.com (9.8 out of 10), a very desirable property. Many of my guests have chosen my property as they didn’t want to be in the town centre. Many of my guests love the area as it quiet with off street parking. I have had guests who live local but have been flooded and wanted to stay local not in city centre. I have guests who have used the property as members of their family were in hospital. I have also had hospital consultants stay. Aviva is another regular user of the apartment as it is a few minutes’ walk away. My property is the only STL in the street so it’s not over populated. I have had many repeat customers who will continue to book as they enjoy the property & location. Most of my guests use the local restaurant and golf course, so brings trade to them. Many have used the hairdressers, dental practice & local garage. I feel that the PKC planning descion was unfair as a property at 20c Needless Road was passed for planning permission, this is approximately a few hundred yards from my property. This property had 4 objections from all neighbours in the close but was given planning consent. My property had no objections from any of my neighbours. I have a good relationship with all my neighbours. They have my contact details and I have had no problems at all. I have researched and seen that there are other properties - not in the city centre - that have been granted planning permission for a change use to short term let.

I feel decision made by Perth and Kinross Council to reject my application is not fair, considering my property had no objections from any neighbours. Cherrybank is a mix of residential properties with commercial properties like the Dental practice, Nursery, Hairdressing Salon, Beauty Room, Golf course and the Cherrybank Inn & Garage. I would like Local Review Body to reconsider the planning decision to refuse the application. Yours Sincerely, Nadia Angus

3?; 3 AV. 3 Supporting Statement ~. \ 2 § Hosts have been asked to provide a statement to support this planning application. The E proposal is to change the use retrospectively of the property known as 40 Low Road, Perth, g from a residential apartment to a short-term let (STL) rental property providing visitor m accommodation. '5031 The Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Licensing of Short-term Lets) Order 2022 requires that all properties operated as Short Term lets must be licenced by July 2024. As a pre- condition to securing the licence, properties that have been subject to a change of use in order to operate as an STL, must show mat they have secured the bene}401tof planning permission where this is a requirement. A material change of use will take place in the transition from a residential }402atto short term let visitor accommodation, means that planning permission should be sought to facilitate the future grant of an STL licence. The proposed change of use of this small property will provide it with a sustainable function going forward that can contribute to the City of Perth031simportant tourist economy, as well as that of the wider region, while having minimal impact on the local community. Property & Location The planning application is a one bedroom }401rst}402oorapartment located in a tenement block on Low road, Craigie, Perth. The property is situated within an established residential area and has been operating as a short term holiday let from July 2022, and hopefully helping to attract visitors from near and far to experience the cultural and heritage attractions Perth has to offer. Currently the property is listed as has a 5* ratings. There is free on street parking for guests if they bring their car or walking distance to park & ride. The city bus & local train stations are both walkable distance for guests. The building is well maintained staiwvell, gutters, chimney heads, roof voids etc. The property is an immaculate one bedroomed property with many original features }401nishedto a high standard. Management The property is managed by current owner. I meet & greet guests provide them with introduction to property. Guests are provided with the house rules & recycling before booking. The owner is }401rstpoint of contact for guests during their stay. Cleaning of property is done between 10am & 3pm by owner. Laundry ls cleaned off site & returned on changeover days. Guest numbers & Length of stay Accommodation occupancy is maximum two guesls have been on average of 50% for one & 50% for two guests, which minimises impact for other residents. Occupancy was around 50% to avoid any nolse We do not allow children or pets to stay. Therefore, there is less impact than previously, with a tenanted 100% residential use. Currently the property operates on a minimum two-night stay. it is intended to move this to a minimum four-night stay once established. Hopefully with satis}401edreturning guests. Amenities Access and Parking: It is considered that the proposal complies with Transport Standards and Accessibility and LDP Policy 603: New Development Proposals given that the property

'ihere is also free on street parking for § guests if they bring their car or walking distance to park & ride. The city bus & local train 3 stations are both waikabie distance for guests. a Neighbouring Amenity 3 I have a good friendly relationship with my neighbours and ensure the use of the property as a short term let does not have a negative impact on my neighbour's amenity. All guests are advlsed of the house rules 034Policiesand House Rules035this are provlded to guests prior to booking, this clearly outiines what is not acceptable in relation to noise, parties, waste disposal, etc. There is also a guest book in the property displaying this information. My neighbours have been provided with my contact details and will inform me if there is ever believed to be a breach of the rules. It must be noted there have been no reported issues with regards to noise or any disturbances to date. Local business such as Craigie hill golf course & Cherrybank Inn bene}401tfrom guests as 75% of use their facilities.
