A short-term let has been approved in Rutherglen despite neighbour objections.
Plans to turn a flat on Castlemilk Road into a short term holiday let have been approved by councillors on the planning committee today (January 27) despite a wave of objections from neighbours.
The application relates to an upper-floor cottage flat within a four-in-a-block building, and the plans sought permission to change the use of the property from a permanent home to a short-term visitor accommodation.
The decision was taken to the planning committee after seven formal objections were raised.
Residents lodged concerns about potential noise and disruption, increased footfall, loss of privacy and pressure on on-street parking.
Planning officers decided that the change of use would not result in significant harm to residential amenity. A key factor was that the flat has its own private entrance, reducing interaction with neighbouring households in the shared building.
Permission has been granted on a temporary basis until January 2036, after which the property must revert to residential use unless further consent is approved. Conditions also require the submission of landscaping details to protect neighbouring privacy along with an agreed scheme for waste and storage collection.
