Decision details
Detailed Planning Permission for the change of use of flat to Short Term Let accommodation (sui generis) with maximum occupancy of 3 people - 4 Watson Street Aberdeen
Decision Maker: Planning Development Management Committee
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
Application refused for the following reasons:-
The proposal would be contrary to Policy H1 (Residential Areas) and Policy WB3 (Noise) of the Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2023 (ALDP) and Policy 23 (Health and Safety) and Policy 30 (Tourism) of NPF4. This was due to the layout and internal design of the shared building and the context of the surrounding area, which meant that its use as Short Term Let (STL) accommodation would have a significant adverse impact on the amenity of existing residents in terms of noise and disturbance within the tenement beyond what could typically be expected if it were to be used as mainstream residential accommodation.
