Official Objection 1 Good Morning, I am emailing in relation to short term let application at above address. I would like to object to this application. My elderly parents live at 180 Middleton Street and the staircase to access flat 6, 176 is directly beside their back door. I do not feel this is safe for them to have different people constantly round there. I feel this is a safety issue for all residents; this property is shared access with other properties. Name: Gemma Young Objection 2 1. As the adjacent neighbour I haven't received notification of this and was informed by someone else in the block. Really not acceptable and I would ask for this to be escalated to your management for response. 2. The proposed property has an open and non carpeted stairway that is adjacent to two of my bedrooms and already causes significant noise so much so that I am having to consider installing noise cancelling panels to that side of the building. 3. I have no such issues on the other side of the building. 4. I share an external stairway with this flat and am concerned that increased use will affect shared maintenance costs. I feel that I will be disproportionately affected by wear and tear on this area for maintenance costs. 5. I am seriously concerned about noise and disruption to the community with increased traffic noise and potential parking issues. 6. There is communal access and increased footfall will affect wear and tear of these areas and there has been no provision made by the owners to address this. ITEM 6 APPENDIX 1

Official 7. Who is responsible for ensuring waste disposal as current owners are not present existing tenants are ensuring rubbish is removed by ensuring bins are put out. Air b n b guests are unlikely to do this so there is a risk of rats. Especially when rubbish removal for general household waste is every 3 weeks. 8. Who is responsible for upkeep of shared garden area? 9. How can you ensure noise and environment are not adversely affected by this change in use. 10. The plan provided actually doesn't have the correct address number highlighted - also seems to include my private garden area and not the flat mentioned. Regards Gillian Skimming
