Title - Description of Application (from report of handling)
08/12/2025 - Detailed Planning Permission for the change of use of flat to short-term let accommodation with maximum occupancy of 2 people - 18D Holburn Road Aberdeen
Application refused for the following reasons:-
It was considered that the proposed change of use of the property to short term let accommodation would likely result in significant detrimental impacts upon the amenity of the immediate neighbouring residential properties within the application building beyond what could typically be expected if it were to be used as mainstream residential accommodation through noise disturbance, the frequency of changes in occupants, and the impact on security, real or perceived, within the communal areas of the building. The proposed change of use was thus considered to be contrary to Policy 30 (Tourism), paragraph (e) part (i) and (ii) of National Planning Framework 4 , and Policy H1 (Residential Areas) and Policy WB3 (Noise) of the Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2023 (ALDP) .
