I’ve had some time to reflect on today’s decision of Edinburgh’s development management sub-committee (DM Sub) to grant a short term let (STL) application in Blair Street, central Edinburgh.

The application was approved by 6 votes to 5.

🧵 1/ Screen grab from google streetview of Blair Street, Edinburgh I moved refusal: contrary to NPF4 policy 30e)ii)
“Devt proposals for reuse of existing bldgs for short term holiday letting will not be supported where proposal will result in […] loss of residential accom where such loss not outweighed by demonstrable local econ benefits.” 2/n Screenshot of National Planning Framework 4 policy 30 (Tourism), paragraph e), which reads:  “Development proposals for the reuse of existing buildings for short term holiday letting will not be supported where the proposal will result in:  i. An unacceptable impact on local amenity or the character of a neighbourhood or area; or ii. The loss of residential accommodation where such loss is not outweighed by demonstrable local economic benefits.”
