The ASSC has written to City of Edinburgh Council Leader, Cllr Cammy Day, to provide a solution to the significant challenge the Council is faced with in light of the recent Judicial Review Petition regarding City of Edinburgh Council’s Short-Term Let Planning Control Area.
This would offer a balanced, reasonable, proportionate and lawful solution to the current challenge and provide reassurance to legitimate self-catering businesses that find themselves in an impossible situation currently. We see this as an opportunity to draw a line in the sand and move forward with STL legislation, which can still be viewed as a success for all parties involved, whilst evidencing some much-needed reflection and pragmatism on achievements the Council has already made regulating the sector.
