Why it was refused

  1. The use of the dwellinghouse for short term lets will introduce a use that is not considered compatible with the neighbouring residential properties as there will be an intensification of the use of the property associated with the short term lets compared to pattern of use as a dwellinghouse. This intensification of use is considered to adversely affect the amenity of the neighbouring residential properties. The proposed use is considered contrary to Policies 14 and 30(e)(i) of National Planning Framework 4 as well as Policies D1(Point 1) and D2 of the adopted East Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2. There are no material planning considerations to allow the development to be approved against these policies.
  2. There is insufficient in-curtilage parking required for the proposed short term lets which will result in additional and/or obstructive on-street parking in this cul-de-sac which will have an adverse impact on roads safety. As a consequence, the proposed use is considered contrary to Policy D10 of the adopted East Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2. There are no material planning considerations to allow the development to be approved against these policies.
